It seems something has been changed on the Nexus 5: Speaker's hole, for example.
According to these pictures, "wave 2" has bigger holes, in order to spread a better sound.

i'll probably be staring at this picture later trying to determine if I got a new batch or old one - whats the build # on the one with the bigger holes?
 
Seems legit, does the one with the bigger holes sound louder?

Larger holes would reduce obstruction, so there would be a nominal increase in volume. Of course, the plastic at the thinnest points between the holes also appears to be considerably thinner, and therefore weaker and more susceptible to damage/cracking.
