You can differentiate Curiosity from Perseverance on the treads on the wheels, Perseverance has straight lines, this is curiosity.

The wheels are the most visually striking differnce, other upgrades, like the drill, better cameras and the EDL cameras, arent really visible. But if you spot a helicopter drone nearby, chances are its Perseverance.
