Regasm switch regfile does not give the same output as for a code key

Well, I know this is quite specific, but I lost all my work day, so I really need some kind of rational explanation, so my boss and my wife did not fire me.

According to MSDN:
Switch /regfile"Creates the specified .reg file for assembly"
Switch /codebase"Creates an entry in Codebase in the registry that defines the path to the file for assembly"

I guessed that these are two different ways to make the same material. The truth was, I was wrong:

METHOD 1

C:\>"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe" "C:\SERVER.dll" /regfile
Registry script 'C:\SERVER.reg' generated successfully

Reg file output:

METHOD 2

But when I execute the switchbase switch command directly, and using the reg file, the keys that affect the regression are different (and work, opposite to the previous output).
