I've shot both the 7.62N (L1A1 plus a few hunting type rifles) and the 7.62S (SKS and SKK). The 7.62N definitely has the greater recoil, however it's also a much more accurate round.
In my experience, the 7.62S is more of a "spray and pray" type round - provided you can handle the recoil. Forget about trying to hit anything accurately at more than a couple of hundred metres (I was a fine shot in my day and found it quite difficult compared to the 7.62N).
