two different images give no difference!

Hello,

I have two images which seem to be the same, but MD5 checksums and sizes (445009 octets and 445416 octets) are different.

I tried to compare the both with ImaheMagick (Compare Program), but I get no difference!!!
How is it possible?

Thanks

The images are identical. The files are different. Files contain more than just images; they also contain metadata.

Tkank you
But how to get metadata? Exif data seem to be the same?

Exiftool reports changes in just three fields: System:Filename and System:FileModifyDate and System:FileAccessDate.

I don't know why one file has 405 more bytes than the other.

Both images come from 2 different puzzles on the same theme: in fact something is hidden inside, probably directly in the image. So I am very surprised that ImageMagick makes no difference.
