I cannot reproduce with the two files attached.
I suspected you might have a different diff algorithm configured,
so I tested
git diff --no-index old new
git diff --patience --no-index old new
git diff --histogram --no-index old new
all of which do not reproduce the issue.
Are there any encoding issues locally (Which platform
are you on?) or in transit (Could you re-download the files
from [1] and confirm it still produces this bug?)

Could you cut down to a real minimal reproduction, i.e. just these 20
lines or so?

Do you have any smudge filters or configuration regarding
line endings?
Are the lines really different or the same ? (Can you inspect with a
hex editor, maybe there are different kinds of invisible white spaces?)
