Explanation in standard Arabic :
بين = bayna...means: between
من بين = min bayni...means: among
قبل = qabla...means : before
من قبل = min qabli "as a preposition" and at the end of the sentence pronounced (min qabl) "as adverb"....means : before "as adverb" , previously
Example : I haven't seen this before. = انا لم ارى هذا من قبل
Well, (qabla and min qabli) both mean "before" as prepositions, but it's not common to use (min qabli) as a preposition. More common to use it as adverb.
Hope that was helpful,
If you still have misunderstanding please let me know :)
Good luck!

In meaning there is no difference between بين - من بين or بعد - من بعد
the difference is from grammatical side .

Yes it's originally in Arabic that من بعد is used . A little correction MIN QABLI not QABLA , same for MIN BA3DI , cause MIN is حرف جر what's after it must end with JARRA
