50's Aristocrat Jr. (diamond baseplate) vs. 40's style British Rocket?

What's the difference between a Gillette Aristocrat Junior made in the 50's and a 40's style British Rocket?

To me they look the same: similar handle and both have a baseplate with the diamond-shaped recess. I assume the weight is pretty similar too. Was the main difference in the packaging?
