size_t vs size_type and ptrdiff_t vs difference_type

Are there any differences between these types?

size_type and difference_type are class member types which gives information about concrete type used in implementation, which may be or not be equal to size_t/prtdiff_t

Generally, types size_t and ptrdiff_t should be threated as size_type and difference_type for c-arrays and pointers respectively as those entities are not classes and cannot contain member types.
