Looks to me as though the SB is a one piece and the PP is your choice of single piece or not.
Lets go to the source, I marked the differences in

Not many video's from Andersonpower.
There are countless other video's from other YT'ers showing installations.
The few video's I saw, I could not see how the conductor blade was attached inside the housing... for obvious reasons.
A final note, the one piece SB's do have an optional component of a cover when not in use, not sure if PP's have a cover.
Also to my eye there seems to be a different locking mechanism between the SB and PP. [strike]The SB looks to me, as though you could mechanically fasten both connectors together.[/strike] It has been confirmed here
http://www.andersonpower.com/_global-assets/downloads/pdf/ds-sb175.pdf
that for the SB's there is another option, a handle can be bolted to each connector.

wire or contacts from the housing. Only Bolt On type clamps can be used with the handles. Cable
clamps are recommended for solder terminated wires. Not for use with 3 pole housing.
