At first glance, I thought the keys were the same. I'm undecided if this was deliberate or unintentional. If this was unintentional, perhaps by corruption, how likely would the result generate such an easily factorable key?
Random errors likely generate easily factorable keys. Each prime removes 1/N numbers. So 2 removes 1/2 of possible numbers. 3 remove 1/3 of the remaining possible numbers etc. Just 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 remove 80% of possible random numbers.
