That would make sense - certainly the proximity of the flash to the lens. It's said so often that, to eliminate red eye, the flash has to be moved further from the lens than the built-in flashes are. If the location will eliminate red eye, then it stands to reason that the look of the flash in the photo will be different. Back in the "old days" strobes were mounted what, six to eight inches from the lens, or maybe even more. In this pic of Weegee http://www.icp.org/weegee/ we can clearly see the relationship of the flash to the lens.
