Is 5s space grey front screen different?

I've searched high and low but cannot find an answer. Mind boggling that someone else hasn't asked this before. Is the front of iPhone 5s space grey different from that of the silver or gold versions? I ask cuz I just bought one and realize one "sensor" is missing on the front. There is a speaker, a camera and that's it. It is indeed a 5s though.. Home button, and model check out. what is going on?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4.1

They aren't any different other than the color -- just harder to see due to the black color. If you are referring to the proximity sensor, it is in the same location as on the other colors (just to the left of the receiver) and it can be seen in very bright light with the phone held at just the right angle. The ambient light sensor is just to the left of the camera and is even harder to see. Here is one source for sensor locations: https://developer.apple.com/resources/cases/Case-Design-Guidelines.pdf
