I would suggest comparing the MD5 (or SHA256) checksums of the input files.
My guess is a Windows vs Linux new line ending change during a file transfer
could have thrown some things off, or a rarer network glitch is possible
too.
It should be easy to check and rule this out.

If they match perfectly, then I would next look at the exact versions of
samtools
in use by the two groups.
