I'm not sure I understand which difference you talk about, but could it be
that you're unaware that git commit IDs are SHA-1 hashes? They are pretty
long and the current commit is identified by this hash:

  f05e6bc0ca31f4211d46201618a79f65e78f16ae

Now "gbx3 -V" shortens this to the first 8 characters in the hope that these
still uniquely identify the commit, and whatever other source of the commit
hash you're looking at shortens it to 7 characters.

Regards,
Tobi
