They are 2 different runs on 2 different days Pete.
See the bottom box in the left corner, says one was run on 18/12 and the other 24/12.
Also they are engine powere figures mate, see on the edge of the graphs labelling the readouts it's flywheel power on the left and flywheel torgue on the right. Torgue being the flater lines and power the climing ones.
Hope I'm not overly explaining just guessed from your question you hadn't seen this info.
I have noticed from top gear vids that the rolling roads over in the UK are different to our dynos. They use the drag on the rollers as a car runs down after a run to convert the at the wheel figures to engine or flywheel figures.
We don't do that, our figures on a chassis dyno as all at the wheel figures. We only qoute engine figures if it's been run on an engine dyno when out of the car as far as I know.
