Are Fan and PINDA changed in the new MK3S?

I've see several video and image of last release of MK3 and newest MK3s and i noticed two particular different compared to my MK3.
First is the fan; now it's all black, different from the typically noctua's color.
Second is the PINDA; the color of the "bottom" is gray and not black and the cable seems to be more "fat".
are these only aesthetic changes? or are improved compared to "old" model?

they are purely cosmetic.
The fan has been black before the 3S; my Mk3 kit was as well.

My pinda probe is white.

As others have said, the fan and pinda are not included in the kit.. But, I have the brown fan and took the opportunity to buy the black one as I figured that if I am stripping down the extruder, i may as well take the opportunity to swap the fan.

Considering early adoptors were told that by the time the Mk3 shipped, the fans would be black, and this turned out not to be the case, it would have been nice if they did a good 'deal' on the fan. But it wasn't too expensive, so i bought it anyway.

Except any agreement with Noctua, I dont find any fans of black color of trademark.
This makes me think that they have changed supplier.

They have not. The black fans are custom-ordered genuine Noctua.

OK thanks.
In the shop still shows the old color, will the black version only for the printer kits?
Isn't possible to buy them at spare parts?

Contact support via the chat; it is possible they simply have not updated the shop image and you would get a black fan.
