My guess is they are from different factories. Their eyes have the same difference that the big-head / small-head flutter ponies have, in that their pupils and white eye highlights are placed differently.

Sort of off-topic, but do you think the molds for the big head / small head flutter ponies were different molds? If so, I would consider that a legit variant. Both versions were sold in the US like. Looking at mine, it's not just the head and eyes that are different. Their legs are much closer together too. It looks like a completely different mold to me
Slightly different paint shades are one thing, but to me it's a whole different story when the structure of the pony changes.
