Then I'd suppose that first archive (the one shown on the left size) was created in ustar, gnu or similar format - the one that stores timestamps with a seconds precision. In contrast, second archive (the one shown on the right side) is in POSIX.1-2001 format, which stores timestamps with a subsecond precision. Regards, Sergey
