Huu? Example please? They do *different* things. kpsewhich gives the
file as found by the kpse lib, while kpsewhere to (from the man page):
       kpsewhere  -  Expanding kpsewhich to separately iterate over each texmf
       tree listed in $TEXMF.

So it is not surprising that they find different files, kpsewhere will
find more files. Files can be shadowed by putting a file of the same
name into a higher order directory, that is a feature.

Best wishes
