The same differences everyone else keeps pointing out! Longer neck, slender build, lack of a bone mane around its neck, three toes in each foot as oppose to four, lack of horns on its mask, a snake tail as oppose a scorpion tail.

And some of these things are lost as oppose to gained, I would hardly consider that an elder Manticore.

If nothing else, I'd consider the Sphinx and Manticore relation to be more along the lines of apes and humans, one species evolved from the other, not exactly the same species.
