I guess that the difference is in the evaluation.

Junior5.9 has a different evaluation and needs a long time to see a draw
evaluation after e4
It wants to play Qh5 and not e5.

Junior(london) played e5 with evaluation of 0.72 pawns advantage for black.

I do not know if the evaluation of Junior(london) is better or worse but it is
an interesting evaluation that is clearly different than other programs.
