or these

I think the top one is a proper tubeless tyre, and the bottom one is just tubeless ready, which probably explains the weight difference.

Top one is a UST tyre. Bottom one isn't.

As above; tubeless has a reinforced, airtight sidewall (hence additional weight/cost); tubeless-ready will work with sealant but may not seal all that well without.
