MNQ and NQ set to same bar period (2000 trades) show different bar period

I have an MNQ chart set to 2000 trades (MNQ picture attached) but the NQ chart (NQ picture attached) set to 2000 trades looks completely different for the same exact time period. I'm doing this from the same chart in the same chartbook so wondering why this is happening.
Specifically, the MNQ chart has more bars per 2000 trade bar than the NQ chart, which has fewer bars per 2000 trade bar. How do I ensure both MNQ and NQ set to 2000 trades appear the same?

Volume for MNQ trades more than 2.5x NQ.
A 2000 trade chart comparison between them cannot possibly ever look the same (well apart from just after the open).

That makes sense! I assumed they were identical in terms of volume traded per bar and price. Appreciate the insight.
