Their difference is approximately equal to the number of cache hits.

In this context, Squid considers each IP address a "client." If you have
two clients on the same IP address, Squid counts them as one client.

The number of clients is stored in the 'client_info' database which
you can view in the cache manager client_list page:

        squidclient mgr:client_list | less
