Comment (by iwakeh):

 Request in dirreq-v3-reqs are counted only for 'ok' responses,
 as specified in torspec:
 {{{
     "dirreq-v3-reqs" CC=N,CC=N,... NL
         [At most once.]

         List of mappings from two-letter country codes to the number of
         requests for v2/v3 network statuses from that country, rounded up
         to the nearest multiple of 8. Only those requests are counted that
         the directory can answer with a 200 OK status code.
 }}}
 and implemented
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/or/directory.c#n3161
 here].

 So, the two implementations should show relevant differences.
 The differences above might be due to the binning for each country that
 increases the sum for the 'all' counts.
