Discrepancies in extracted photo-id images from dumps

Hi all,

while inspired by the replies from dkg and Damien, in the "gpg > addphoto"
thread, i tried to see if i can see how many images for photo-id's are in a
whole key dump and what size the images have.

I tried two methods.

With GnuPG[1]i saved out 32088 jpeg images from all single dump files,
while with method two , were i used jpegextrator[2], i obtained from a
joined dump, done with cat, the following result:

Extracted 86506 JPEG file(s) with 1236388001 bytes from 1 input file(s).

Now i wonder why i have such high discrepancies in the numbers?

I would very much appreciate if someone can explain this to me!

[1]Method used with GnuPG:

In gpg.conf i put: photo-viewer "cat > %K.%t"

and then i used this one liner:

for filename in ./*.pgp; do gpg --list-keys --list-options show-photo --keyring "${filename}"; done
