Sportspack are sportspack. Later 90's cars.
The differences i dont know, but i guess engine and brakes were different.
Cooper 'S' engines go for loads on ebay and 7.5 cooper 's' brakes same.

I'm no mechanic/technical bod but I know it kicks ass next to a standard cooper.
The conversion gets a new cylinder head, oil cooler and exhaust system. Boosting power from 63bhp (standard cooper) to 83bhp on the spi. I think the more recent mpi conversion is more. Top speed over 100. I did get mine to 110 - but then the other half was looking decidedly ill in the passenger seat.

The original and best Cooper S was as described very well by DK, but the 'S' doesn't mean anything at all. It simply stands for S. Not sport, not special, nothing. It's all just marketing! This was what Jack Daniels maintained about the S until he sadly died recently.
