Live Number Bar data differs from Historical Number Bar Data

I trade, and review trades on separate computers.
Intraday data storage unit set to one tick on both computers.
I take pictures of number bar charts during the day on the platform which is streaming live data. These pictures differ from the charts I view of historical intraday number bars on my home computer.

The total volume per 5m candle is actually very accurate as well as the price ranges per rotation.

The AskV - BidV per candle, as well as the Ask x Bid volume per price however, differs greatly.

On the computer which I am trying to view historical number bars, I have run "Delete All Data and Download", updated symbol settings, and checked "Edit/Download Data - Intraday Chart" for "Number of trades= 1" historically.

I also use CQG which was listed as a service that provides Historical Bid x Ask volume.

Because I only have photos of my live feed earlier today, I have to snip images from both, apologies.

Is your home computer setup to get the data from CQG or from us (Sierra Chart)? In other words, what is the File >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Current Selected Service set to on that computer?

You must use the Denali Exchange Data Feed for the proper and consistent data:

Please do not use CQG data. And we are going to be removing support for CME CQG data, in July.
