I think they are the same, They might only differ in the colour of the calipers

They are different besides the color - S brakes have larger, cross-drilled rotors. Not sure of the exact dimensions - maybe 13.0 v. 12.8. Literature also says "The added horsepower of the 911 Carrera S is matched with bigger, more robust four-piston calipers at all four corners. The brakes are derived from the 911 Turbo...".
