HF seems to have duplicate part numbers for many items. I would guess they are the same item, the weight difference on wooden items could vary that few pounds depending on how dry the wood is.

Its the same item from different suppliers and they get different item numbers so they can keep track of where the product came from.

The reason that they have different part numbers is that they are dimensionly different. Even though to you and I the difference in dimensions is meaningless, to people doing Configuration Control it means a lot. Also it is possible the tables are made by different companies which may require a different part number under Harbor Freight's system.
