There are two types of fob used with the F-Type so far. They are shared with other models.
The one on the left is current and was used from the mid 2014-MY onwards. It has embossed JAGUAR script on both sides of the metal section and a plain matt body.
The one on the right was earlier and used from launch. It has a plain metal section and the rear half of the body is gloss black plastic with a silver JAGUAR and leaper printed on it. The front half is matt.
Having seen a couple of the earlier ones after a few years of use they get quite scratched which I suspect is why they changed the design to the matt plastic finish all over.
Mueller's key above appears to be a hybrid, with one part changed at some point. (The fob is available separately from the metal finisher, so it is possible to mix and match, but Jaguar supply only one style with the car.) To replace the metal finisher you just slide the new one on, but to replace the fob you need to code the new key to your car.

Interesting - I have the one on the left, though I took delivery in June of 2013. I actually like it better than the other one, though since it stays in my pocket (with keyless entry and pushbutton start) I seldom see it.
