Ben - sorry - probably I made a mistake 
I've quote from this : 
https://airtoncs.wordpress.com/2016/04/06/differences-between-ovs-ofctl-and-ovs-dpctl/:

"As the manpage says:

This command is primarily useful for debugging Open vSwitch. The flow table 
entries that it displays are not OpenFlow flow entries. Instead, they are 
different and considerably simpler flows maintained by the Open vSwitch kernel 
module.

In a little more detail, the flows that ovs-dpctl prints are always 
exact-match. They reflect packets that have actually passed through the system 
in the last 5 seconds or so. "
