Quite often, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements simply by checking specifications. The graphic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M Typ 262 and M1.

Plainly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M Typ 262 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Leica M Typ 262 will give more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older M Typ 262 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
