So yes you are correct that the neverest line of 20:1 , 40:1, & 60:1 are all the same motor with a different gearbox.
You're correct, there's a slight difference to the NR3.7 encoder that we didn't catch. But the differences between the 20, 40, and 60 should be limited to the gearhead.

(Standard disclaimer: Only the NeveRest 60 has been announced as legal for the 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition at this time by virtue of it being in FIRST Choice. FIRST has not announced whether the other NeveRest motors will be legal, nor whether removing the gearhead will be a legal modification.)
