At this present state of Fedora 34 and Rawhide,
I see almost the same exact packages getting the same bumps in version numbers, with only the suffix "fc34" and fc35" being the difference.
1 ) Does this just mean that the identical packages are stored on the server in a different directory ?
2 ) Are there any notable differences in the two products at this point ?
I assume that since there is Fedora 34 beta-freeze approaching, that Rawhide will in the coming week or weeks have differences that are more noticeable. Right ? If so, which ones ? the kernel ?? git versions of certain packages ?
On a personal note, I will likely use Fedora 34 as my only operating system, and no longer use Rawhide, as I feel my brain-capacity has been maxxed-out, with whatever I had hoped to learn from the Rawhide experience. I will likely have several Fedora 34 SSD's with different DE's.
That all being said, for the time being I am sadly away from my computer, having to do things on my phone, and a Chromebook.
Cheers,
David

They are very similar, but will diverge quickly.

Right, beta freeze starts tomorrow... so rate of change into f34 will slow way down.
Rawhide already has a 5.12 git snapshot kernel (where f34 has a 5.11.0 final). Tools and libraries will also keep being updated in rawhide, which will mean even packages that are otherwise the exact same version don't have the exact same output.

Sure, lots of people move off to the newly branched fedora at this time and follow it out until release. Then re-upgrade to rawhide and repeat. ;)
