As for the 757/737/A320/19 differences, don't forget the doors. The 757 has 3+ doors on each side while the 737/A320/19 have only two and overwing exits.

Also the 757's stance is quite unique. The nose gear is quite a ways back which makes the cockpit look like it is sticking out more. See the pictures below for examples.
