Updating 2 machines from the same cloned source leads to 2 differing shasums?

We have 2 machines on the same LAN that I installed FreeBSD on using the 13.0 Release iso
I then followed the quickstart example in hanbook section 24.5.1, in order to update both machines from source.
docs.freebsd.org

Chapter 26. Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD

Information about how to keep a FreeBSD system up-to-date with freebsd-update or Git, how to rebuild and reinstall the entire base system, etc
docs.freebsd.org docs.freebsd.org

After doing so I performed shasum on /boot/kernel/kernel on each machine, which leads to 2 completely different values.

Machine 1:
038ddb1a92679c34c728c86b387be899b0c80499 /boot/kernel/kernel
Machine 2:
3b14529ff9213c8c83459e193d6e5ed754d0d67e /boot/kernel/kernel

Is this expected or is this a cause for concern?
 
A simple "uname -a" shows some of the information stored in the kernel, so you have timestamps, username, build machine.
So as pointed out by monwarez you need to set a couple knobs for your test to work.
