That's why it's different. But isn't it buggy?

In my case, probably similar to Robert's the slot of both should be
"2.4.20-gentoo-r2" and it would effectively be as much a downgrade if I removed
-p as the other files with equal "0" slots, unless I changed the kernel which
it was emerged against.

No doubt whatever gets the new slot doesn't calculate the $KV ?
