Oyster Bracelet 116710 vs. 126710

I always thought these GMT models shared the same 78200 oyster bracelet. But I noticed the 126710 oyster bracelet has 4 non-removable links at 12 o clock and the 116710 has 3 non-removable links at 12 0 clock. Kind of a dumb fact but interesting that Rolex would do this.

Do these two GMT models have two different oyster bracelets? Or, are they both the 78200 oyster and one has an extra non-removable link?

The springbars also are a different size. The springbar on the 116710 is wider than on the 126610 so you can’t swap the 126710 to the 116710 unless you use 3rd party springbars…

Oyster bracelet reference number for the 126710 is 79200.
As stated above it is not identical to the 78200.
