They are different, I ran into the same problem with one of my technicians radios. Upload the problem radio to your computer, it will create a new file. With your other configuration open, select all your channels and paste into the other configuration. Then download to the radio.

Subject: [chirp_users] Two Baofeng UV-5R radios but only one works with CHIRP
Hello
- I am a new CHIRP user and have two Baofeng UV-5R radios. I was able
to get CHIRP to communicate with one radio and uploaded some memory
channels. However, when I tried the second radio, I got an error
message "The upload was stopped because the firmware of the image (Ver
BFB297) does not match that of the radio (BFB299 BFB297). However, when
I power on the radios holding the 3 key down, I see that the firmware
version of both is the same - BFB297. How do I resolve this???
Thanks. Jay
