I tried that out with my two public key representations. There was a diff between the two keys.
The trust level of my two IDs was `unknown` in the one public key and `ultimate` in the other key.
Maybe this is the reason why the armor output is different.
I mean it make sense when the key server will change the trust level of the given user-id to `unknown` while uploading.

This was the case except of the trust level.
