The address on the label is probably the WAN address and the address you’re seeing is the LAN address. The WAN (wide area network) address is the ethernet address seen by the outside world. The LAN (local area network) address is the one seen inside your house. There’s probably yet another LAN address because the router likely has both WiFi and Ethernet interfaces for the LAN. Of course, it’s quite easy to change the advertised MAC address on most machines. For example on MacOS you can change it to whatever you want with the terminal command sudo ifconfig en0 ether whatever where ‘whatever’ is the address you want; e.g., 78:4f:63:12:34:56. This will stick until you either reboot or change it to something else. (The eth0 might be eth1, if you have a wired connection.)
