Question: Why does carb count for standard items (e.g. pecans, walnuts) vary so much?

I am not speaking of the difference between, say, roasted and salted nuts. I am curious about the difference between what should be identical products.

Even comparing between 2 or 3 different brands of raw walnuts I find that the carb count + fibre count to be quite varied. This has caused some hesitation in going ahead and buying bulk nuts (which are significantly cheaper) because I have no idea what their net carbs will be. Is it the processing that does it?

E.g. No Name brand (per 28 g) has 2 g net carbs: https://www.loblaws.ca/Food/Pantry/Baking-Ingredients/Fruit,-Seeds-%26-Nuts/Chopped-Walnuts/p/20426198_EA

Compliments brand (per 50 g!!) has 2 g net carbs: https://www.compliments.ca/en/product/chopped-walnuts-5574235978/
