That's a pretty big difference but I suppose it's possible it's ok. Could be a consequence of rep-sharing. If "svnadmin verify" says both repositories are ok, they should be ok. You could check that they have the same number of revisions, and check out a few random revisions of each repository and then diff the results to convince yourself they're the same.
