What's the difference between these and a Super hammer?
As I understand it the Montado has a checkered spur, the SBH is grooved.
… and the "round" part of the hammer is ever so slightly different, larger.
Basically it is considered a New Model Vaquero profile "Super" hammer, has nothing to effect operation in a Super / Blackhawk.
The Montado neck is thick not thin like the NVHammer.
Here is a picture of a New Vaquero vs Super Blackhawk Hammer, comparing the "boss" The Montado has the New Vaquero "boss"
Sorry about the PB watermark, not my doin.

Also, because the new vaqueros are made on the midsize frame (except the 44mag), the Montado hammer is shorter than the super Blackhawk hammer.
So if you install it in a large frame, you need to make sure it fits properly with the safety transfer bar so it's safety function is not compromised by pinching the bar which prevents the trigger from returning fully forward.

THE LARGER HAMMER BASE DIAMETER
In about 2000, Ruger made a slight change in the rear of the main frame where the 'ears' of the grip frame on both sides of the hammer mate to the main frame.
The Bisley grip frame ears are taller because of the way the two Allen head mounting screws are internal. So the main frame rear mating surface is about 1/16" taller then the main frames made for the standard plow handle grip frames. So around 2000, to simplify production Ruger made all their main frames with the bisley size rear mating surfaces. Therefore all plow handle grip frames from then on have taller ears to match the main frame. But ever since then, the hammer base diameter is a little too small to have a nice flush fit with the grip frame ears like they used to.
However new design hammers since then and there's only three, (the new vaquero long spur and Montado, and the Flattop Blackhawks) were designed with slightly larger bases to once again, fit nice and flush with the larger grip frame ears.
