Hmm... That fake belt thingy on the reservoir is closer to the top on the Overload? Without comparing it with a Secret Strike first, it would be almost impossible to see the difference.

edit: maybe it isn't. Hmm...

edit: maybe the reservoir is slightly bigger on the Secret Strike?

edit: maybe it's a little longer too.

The Secret Strike's reservoir is about an inch longer, assuming the rest of the blaster is the same size.
Which makes sense. It seems the Secret Strike was based on the Overload. With the Secret Strike lacking a supplied backpack (though the Overload's pack is compatible), Hasbro made the onboard reservoir a bit bigger.

Hey, this might actually be a good deal! A Shot Blast with scope and two Hydro Furies for just $20!

Looks like Hasbro figured out that the Shot Blast's worth is far from $20; its original retail price. I personally still don't think it's a good deal since they're not particularly lucrative buys but by Hasbro standards, they're quite cheap.
