Well, did they look the same before reducing exposure? I wonder if
basecurve is the same in both cases (two options are available in DT).
Looks like LR does some sort of highlight reconstruction by default, if
you enable LCh reconstruction in DT you will get same amount of details
but different color cast.

That "Tone: auto" is quite suspect in LR; if you reduce 2EV the exposure, unless you have a *lot* of DR headspace in the highlight, it seems strange that the photo still have pure white --- DT feels more "physical" in that shot.

If you enable fusion in the base  curve, and shadow-highlights, and so on, you have similar things --- mind you, HL are blown, so it's impossible to fully recover them...
