They use the same system-on-chip, the differences are in network/pcie
configuration. The different firmware you are running on the two
machines is much more likely to be the difference, you have:

bios0: vendor coreboot version "4.0.7" date 02/28/2017
bios0: vendor coreboot version "v4.12.0.1" date 05/29/2020

Note that flashrom allows updating firmware on pcengines APU from OpenBSD.
flashrom's pkg-readme file has everything you need to know.
