Why is size on disk a different (larger) size then "size" itself, please see attachment

I have copied a NAS fully from an old NAS to a new NAS, one on one, no errors. As you can see, the "size" is virtually the same on old and new.
Left side is old (source) and right side is new (target)
Right side is a bit larger since people already put new files on it.
Language is Dutch, so:
grootte = size
grootte op schijf = size on disk
bestanden = files
mappen = folders
I would expect all to be the exact same size and count.

the copy was through a PC, just using Windows Explorer. I also did it once with rsync, but when I saw the size difference I thought: let's see what Explorer makes of it. Same outcome.
File systems are as far as I know the same
