Peter you should check this carefully, because it cannot be.

A 2 plies difference would mean that one of the computers is 5 to 9 times
slower. Of course there is not such a difference.

The difference must be 10% or less in speed, that means it is not possible to
see the difference in ply depth without doing a study on 100 moves or more.
