Component Space is a holistic measure of how much 'stuff' can be fitted inside of a mobile suit. Likewise, External Carriage is what's bolted on the outside or held in the machine's hands.
Growth Factor is how much additional space you get as you 'level up' your machine; machines with 0 growth levels are generally fairly bargain-basement models, older types that are distinctly inferior, with more sophisticated (or simply larger!) machines having 1, 2 or more expansions.
