I did a little research and found the following morphological differences described in literature:

The Northern white has a more exaggerated flat nose than the southern type. Lydekker, R., 1908.
The Southern White appears to have more hair (in the adults) than occurs in the Northern Race Alexander, A.; Player, I.C., 1965. (hey, it’s colder in the South)

The Northern White has somewhat higher legs and a less long body than the Southern Race. Skinner, J.D.; Smithers, R.H.N., 1990.

Hope this helps, the differences appear to be very small though.
