   It is quite possible that one number is for transparent bricks and the other is for regular solid ABS. IIRC they are different molds. The LDraw parts library tries to be as inclusive as possible.

Indeed, while opaque parts are made from ABS, thansparent ones use polycarbonate. These plastics have different behaviour that require slightly different molds to get the tight tolerances you appreciate from LEGO bricks...
