Not so clear to me.

It would mean the positions are not the same since, in 5 moves I could play a4
(with your pawn on b4) wich gives you an ep right. OTOH I could play a3, wich
doesn't give you that right.

I dont see how this is different from " If I move the knight and bishop, I can
castle but after Rh1 I can't"
