EFC quite different for my 2 children

From another thread by the OP:

Your child has an undergrad degree so he is considered independent. You might be required to provide info (many post-bacc programs do require this) but that doesn’t affect his FAFSA EFC.

The EFCs are different because one is dependent and one is independent. Simple as that.
