I have the impression that the 'canards' have also been slightly modified
Eagle eyes
. The tips of both canards look different(cropped??!!) from erstwhile Gripen E prototype.
To me it's the base of the 'canard' that looks wider on the old Gripen, I can see that by looking at the top view of both aircraft where the 'canard' overlaps the wing.Eagle eyes
Yes thay too have been modified exactly in the same manner as the trailing edge of the wings.
It was probably needed to keep same ratio between canards and wing due to increase in the area of the wings.

Lula slams US request for information on Brazil fighter jet deal
SAO PAULO, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Friday it made "no sense" for the U.S. Department of Justice to request information from Saab (SAABb.ST), opens new tab over Brazil's purchase of the Swedish firm's Gripen fighter jets in 2014.Saab revealed the U.S. request on Thursday and said it intended to comply, without providing further details, sending its shares sliding.
"I think this is the U.S. meddling in another country's affairs," Lula told a radio interview.
Lula is in the middle of his third non-consecutive term, having previously served as president between 2003 and 2010.
The deal with Saab, which beat U.S. planemaker Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab and France's Dassault (AM.PA), opens new tab to secure the contract, was inked under Lula's handpicked successor, former President Dilma Rousseff.
Brazilian prosecutors in 2016 formally accused Lula of using his influence to help Saab win the tender for the 36 fighter jets worth $5.4 billion. The case was tossed out by Brazil's Supreme Court in 2022.
Saab said in its Thursday statement that Brazilian and Swedish investigations into the procurement process had been closed without indicating any wrongdoing by the firm.
Lula noted he initially intended to buy Dassault's Rafale fighter, but left the decision to Rousseff as he only had a few months left in his second term. He suggested the United States was unhappy with Brazil's "sovereign" choice.
"They didn't like it when I said I was going to buy the Rafale and certainly didn't like it when Dilma bought the Swedish aircraft, as they wanted us to buy the U.S. plane," the president said.
The agreement with Saab allowed Gripens to be produced in Brazil. Last year, Saab and Embraer (EMBR3.SA), opens new tab launched a production line for the fighter at the Brazilian planemaker's Gaviao Peixoto plant.
