Closing RH1 is the difference - it should in theory add resonance to the C, though it does make the C much brighter in practice - brighter than the thumbplate fingering with all the keys open below it (apart from the G#).
For those with conservatoire system instruments, you can hear the difference if you play C in the normal way (xoo|xoo) and then play C by fingering B and holding the upper part of the linkage on the top joint down to get the C with the thumbplate venting (with RH1 is open).
And for those with thumbplate and dual system instruments, play C (with the thumb off the thumbplate) and open and close RH1 to hear the difference in tone quality of the C.
