Just had a short look at this. The reason is that file/libmagic detects
the files differently:

$ file 1/aarddict.android_26.apk 2/aarddict.android_26.apk 
1/aarddict.android_26.apk: Java archive data (JAR)
2/aarddict.android_26.apk: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

So the APK comparator should probably also work on files detected as zip.
