There is also the possibility of route engineering by the two ISP being different for some destination networks. That could changes some traffic in ways that are visible on inspection. Or also on the network layer side of things oddities in the particular routers each ISP uses may result in differences in MTU, ECN etc handling that also affects some traffic routes in different ways for each of the two ISP.
