The burr size is a little smaller than the Baratza Virtuoso Preciso burr set. Baratza lists the Preciso burr size as 40mm.
This photo shows the outer Preciso burr stacked on top of the Krups outer burr
And side by side - the Baratza has many more serrations/edges on the outer burr which I guess helps to explain it's grinding speed.

I mentioned the "die cast" part since the Amazon description could be read to imply the burrs are die cast metal. Some posts on another forum stated agreement with this incorrect position even after seeing photos. Here is the part the outer burr threads into:
The carrier is plastic. ABS? Not sure. I am surprised it is not 100% plastic at this price point. I wonder if Krups intends to support these mills or dump and move on. Not sure either why there is such a price difference between Krups on Amazon.com ($99) and the Graef CM80 on Amazon.de ($148.50).
I think the burrs are unchanged from the Graef CM80 too.
