If your rubberclad is soft it's jf, if hard plastic like it's noob.

From the sales on rg I've missed (damn you lol) it was a noob if I'm right.

What is hard, what is soft?

On mine I can make a mark on the rubberclad with a fingernail...

Any other differences?

No meaningful difference, let me explain.
On the gen, the rubberclad bezel starts out soft and gradually hardens and can become brittle upon impact.
The JF bezel is closer to the gen one, but will also harden like the gen.
The Noob bezel starts out more rigid and a little more like hard plastic than rubber. So the noob rubber clad bezel is like an older one vs gen compared with the JF one. After a few years, it will not matter which is which, both are not immune to wear and tear.
Either way, if your watch is a keeper I will recommend replacing it with a ceramic or steel bezel eventually. There is a reason why AP discontinued the rubberclad models and the rubber-clad bezels were never repeated again.

If I may add, stating the obvious perhaps, when you see gen RC on sale the bezel is really so worn and consummated some of the bezel screws are exposed. I've never seen anything like that on the reps.Make me laugh.

@ Superlory : So the rubber bezel on the rep is more superior

Lol... yes. They may as well be selling the steel or gold bezel beneath the rubber cladding..
