Usually different ports means different clusters
That's right. What's your point?
That you were comparing apples and oranges - specifically that the database you were dumping was empty but the one you were checking was not.
While I could have shown the exact psql commands (/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/psql -p5433) it wasn't necessary.
I know that was the command, because I use a set of aliases:
alias pgdump12='/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/pg_dump -p5433'
alias pgdump96='/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/pg_dump -p5432'
alias pgrestore12='/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/pg_restore -p5433'
alias pgrestore96='/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/pg_restore -p5432'
alias psql12='/usr/lib/postgresql/12/bin/psql -p5433'
alias psql96='/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/psql -p5432'
