There's a lot more to the P01 vs 75 than just a rail and materials.

A slightly different trigger shape? The "old" PCR had that.
The Mag release can be reversed on the P-01/P-06, but that's true of the 75B in stainless, and the stainless model also has ambi-safeties and an extended beavertail -- but still the "old" design.
Internally, most of the parts are interchangeable between any of the 75-based guns. Some like the fact that the frame of the P-01/P-06 is forged, but that's not really a true DESIGN change -- as much as a materials change. The older frames (steel or alloy) have been pretty durable.
I'd argue that the P-01/P-06 is just the old design with some new whistles and bells. The P-07 is a newer design, as is the new P-02, which will soon be available in the U.S. The P-02 has the Omega trigger system, but you can get a version of that, custom built, from the Custom Shop, now. It remains to be seen whether the Omega trigger system is an improvement or just a change of functionality; but it is newer.
