The nur spec bar does not have the part of the bar that goes from tower to tower; only the tower to firewall. Even though its missing that part, it may still be more rigid because of (possible) one-piece composition and increased rigidity (bigger bar). The TRD kit looks like it utilizes the two stock small bars from firewall to tower as seen here:
I hashed this out in another thread, but the white bar is actually part of the welded racing cage on the Gazoo Racing model, shown here:




or in more detail





However, in the OP pictures, at the bottom, you can see the black unit has a third brace that fully triangulates the shock towers. I'm guessing this is going to be an aftermarket part.
