How to show whitespace character in Sourcetree Diff

Question

I wanted to see the whitespace characters in diff section of SourceTree.

By selecting Show Whitespaces from options I can see the git diff due to spaces but I am not able to see the space characters.

Is there any way to see whitespace characters ( just like in IDE ) in diff section of SourceTree ?

Is there any way to see tab characters ( just like in IDE ) in diff section of SourceTree ?

To see tabs differently than spaces, you need to disable the option Tools -> Options -> Diff -> Convert tabs to spaces with width:. In such a situation tabs mangle display of whitespace, and the tab size is fixed to something about 6.7 (including diff markers).

That's how it looks like (below the same file in Notepad++ for reference):
