I don't think any differences are relevant to your question, but just FYI.

Can you clarify what you mean? Looking at cppreference,
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/iterator/begin
I see that
(1) std::cbegin in fact has a *narrow* contract; it simply delegates to
std::begin(x), which is allowed to throw.
(2) std::cbegin *is* marked conditionally noexcept.
So, I'm not sure what you're asking.
