There is this one, which seems to be the older version. Notice there is a big gap between each lever, except at the top.

And this one. Notice there is almost no gap between each lever, making it appear "bulkier."

    What do you see as being different? They both look like dark metal on the outside and light gray concave on the inside. – Jim Nov 06 '22 at 03:52
  • Any difference between the photos is probably due to lighting and color cast. – DJClayworth Nov 06 '22 at 06:12

    @Jim I'm pretty sure OP refers to the levers themselves, not the "handles". The ones on the bottom are bulkier. – DeepSpace Nov 06 '22 at 09:14
  • @DeepSpace Correct. The levers are the same, but the handles on the second ones are much “bulkier,” as you described. – Charles Nicholson Nov 06 '22 at 10:23

    There is even a third design used on the 767-400ER, based on the 777 thrust levers. See this Boeing magazine. – Bianfable Nov 06 '22 at 10:39
  • I think it depends on what is behind the throttle levers, but that's just a garden variety wild-a** guess. – Juan Jimenez Nov 10 '22 at 15:15
  • It's possible that the difference in the throttle housing is because the B767 engines (at least with some engines) is controlled by cables from the throttle (larger housing is necessary) and the B757 engines are controlled by wires from the throttle (electronic control). –  Nov 13 '22 at 20:31
  • @757toga So, is the difference in engine control based on the manufacturer? For instance, let's say RR uses cables, but GE uses wires. – Charles Nicholson Nov 13 '22 at 20:42
