Surely both images must be fake - no lens designer in their right mind would keep designing lenses without Arca Swiss dovetails cut into the lens foot. And since neither image has it they must be fake!
And there’s the white EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, and I think there was a white EF-S 18-55mm as well
Yeah, it'd be fantastic if Canon relented and started including the Arca indents on feet.
Originally, lenses with fluorite elements were painted white ostensibly to keep them cooler, because of the higher thermal sensitivity of fluorite (Nikon stated, "Fluorite cracks easily and is sensitive to temperature changes that can adversely affect focusing,"...but that was before they started using fluorite elements themselves). I say ostensibly because the early fluorite-containing Canon lenses were black (FD, but also lenses like the EF 100-300/5.6L).
