That's the earlier Fubrication wing with the optional finned filler piece. The updated version has only been available through a crowd funding preorder a few times lately, but I don't think the filler piece was offered. Here's an old offering: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/g...r53-r56-mini#/
The fit and finish wasn't great, but I'm happy with the wing overall. Mine had large gaps between the bracket and the hatch which need to be filled with spacers. Also, the wing itself is a little wavy. They're not shown in the indiegogo picture, but there are small covers that stick on the end plate which make it look like the wing comes through the end plates. I thought it looked better to leave them off.

Pic of installed wing wrapped with white vinyl and satin black painted end plates, minus the optional screw cover trim pieces. I didn't have black screws at the time.

Good point about 1st and 2nd differences. You can use a regular Cooper trim piece on the hatch since the 2nd gen wings are a complete panel that unbolts from the hatch. On the 1st gen S you're left with holes without the wing so I plugged them with the finned covers that come with the JCW spoiler.
Also, the pics above are from my R53. Not sure if I just got a bad piece, but since the wing fits both generations the 2nd gen might have the same issue.

You have to replace the entire S spoiler with a base cooper spoiler in order to be able to fit the aftermarket Fubrication/Orranje wing. I guess you could go without the cooper spoiler but it wouldn’t look very good. The winged part of the S spoiler can’t just be taken off. You have to swap the whole thing.

I found mine on the marketplace here when I did it. Often there are Cooper owners wanting to switch out to a Cooper S spoiler, so in my case I just did an even trade with the guy. Given both our roofs were white, it worked out. A new primed Cooper spoiler is around $300 (part #51622753756) so the trade option will definitely be your cheapest option.

Thats a great looking wing.
