'Difference between a static instance of a struct and initializing a struct static and then initializing?

Is there a difference between the following code fragments?

static struct My_Type {
   int i;
   int j;
} My_Instance;

and

struct My_Type {
   int i;
   int j;
} static My_Instance;

I´m assuming, both occurrences of My_instance would be static variables, with the only difference, that another struct:

My_Type Second_Instance;

wouldn't be static in the second case. Is this correct?
