Garmin Express updates and Garmin website updates are different sizes for the SAME software version

Sorry to ask here, but there's no specific Marine Forum. I have a 942xs, and want to do updates manually via SD card, for OS and Charts. I've given up on Active Captain, because it simply doesn't work for me. In any case, I used two different methods to get these updates, first from the Garmin GPS Series webpage, www8.garmin.com/.../download_details.jsp, then used the Garmin Express PC program. The Express program correctly identified my 942xs, and downloaded updates at 5.7 GB in 262 files. However, the Website files downloaded were at 4.14GB in 215 files.

Which one is correct?

Also, both groups of files have the same "3/5/2021" date stamp.

Thanks,

Bill
