Same player/mouthpiece?

Could there be any debris of any size down either one of them?

My guess is that some of the manufacturing differences move the nodes of some (or all) the notes some distances in the horn + or -, and that the result of this is longer or shorter lengths needed for the same end result. I imagine that a slight gap in the tubing near a critical point could "shade" a node, but you would need someone far more knowledgable in physics than I to explain it...
