If it's ext[23] (well, most likely on SANs it's not :)), then these mismatches are very likely located in inode blocks. I've noticed this quite often on RAID1s up to 2.6.26, especially on filesystems with heavy inode fluctuation (remove, create files). Starting with .26 (i guess, maybe later) I didn't see them anymore. Maybe yours on newer kernels are just brownfields?
