Default 2016+ A7 front end difference

I'm helping a friend look for an used A7. We've narrowed it down to 2016+ model because he liked the facelift model with revised LED and also most of them still has balance of factory warranty left. Just a quick question for those more familiar... I see three different front ends on 2016 A7 and I think it is due to the different packages. Can someone confirm?

1. Non-S-line front bumper with 2 horizontal chrome stripes in the lower grill area.
2. S-line front bumper with 1 horizontal chrome stripe in the lower grill area.
3. Black optic (?) bumper with fog light in the lower grill area.

Is this correct? Basically just looking for a quick short cut to visually identify cars from online ads so we know what we are dealing with.
Thanks

Thats correct but also look for the 20 inch sports package that will come with the s-line trim. Prestige package is also the better one then premium plus.

FYI, those aren't fog lights, those are radar units for Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), which was an option for any trim.
