As shown above, my CSP is the same format. Traditional layout and all, with full branding (that interestingly actually matches the color Chase shows for the CSP, unlike the metal version).
I am aware of the Citi new design plastic cards that simply have printed number, which these are not like.

its a few places in Europe where I have anecdotal evidence of them not taking non-embossed cards.
While I'm sure in certain situations you can argue that it is a valid card and MasterCard/Visa agreements dictate they should still accept the cards, foreign language/cultural barriers would probably not be your friend. Better safe than sorry and frankly, it's not the end of the world to be carrying the plastic one all the time.
