Looking at bar, the processes are all objects '...of application "Finder".

Therefore they aren't the same. Using 'name of processes' produces a list of
strings which do compare.

Yes, but isn't it rather cack-handed that the processes should 'belong' to whichever app is told to get them? With the current duplication of functions between the Finder and System Events, the processes appear to exist in a kind of quantum limbo where their parenthood is uncertain until you open the cat-box and take a look, but what you see depends on which end of the box you open.
