Hard to say whether that explains it without knowing how packet sizes
are distributed on your network, but remember that typically, LAN (level
2) protocols have much larger headers than WAN level 2 protocols.
Another possible explanation is that packets going into an interface get
out of that same interface. Total input rate is 38030000 bps, vs a total
output rate of 39136000 bps, which is much closer (about 2.5% vs 33%),
and even more so when you look at packet rates (5119 pps input vs. 5188
pps output, which are within 1.5% of each other). Does that suggest
anything?
