Sure.  I even removed more and see just one real difference.  The
option line looks different but isn't (in this case). All other
lines were just textual differences (if at all different).

What should happen is that MRTG browses the MIB for an interface
with this IP address, and use the aquired interface number to get
the statistics.

The question that comes to mind right away:  Is the interface number
for the interface with IP address 10.20.10.10 indeed 6 at the moment,
in other words: could it have changed over time (due to a reboot or so).

Even if the traffic looks more or less the same, it may be that you
are monitoring a different interface ?
