Your history contains both commands. One command is a substring of the other command. The search command bound to control-r is not anchored at the start of the line. Therefore it locates the substring in other commands. When using 'reverse-search-history' which is an incremental search feature you should at the point that you have been placed at the later command select control-r again and push to the next previous history item. In this case it would be ^r m ^r and you would be located on the desired history item.
