These minor differences are probably due to the two drives having
different "offsets" when ripping. Very few drives start ripping at
precisely the correct place, and each drive has a different offset
error. It's of no practical consequence: the offset is usually just a
few dozen samples. Some particularly paranoid people do everything they
can to correct the offset so as to get a perfect rip. (That's one reason
EAC is popular: it can compensate for a drive's offset error).
