That's because they have identical file content, because the trees of the
ISOs bear identical file paths which nearly match the .content paths list.
(The file paths "/isolinux/boot.cat" are not in .content, because these
file paths got created by option -c of xorrisofs when the ISO was produced.)
So the question is whether it is normal that both ISOs have absolutely
identical file paths in their trees.
The same checksum duplicity can be seen with
5849124a0e25d1318a880e98b9a8123f debian-live-9.8.0-amd64-cinnamon.contents
5849124a0e25d1318a880e98b9a8123f debian-live-9.8.0-amd64-gnome.contents
Have a nice day :)
