Ok, I found the difference... In the URL I construct for the web service, I had not added "region=FR" - adding this returns the same result as with the api service.
HOWEVER ... If I then take the lat/lng and do a reverse geocode, the address returned is not the same, it returns "14-16 Allée des Alignements, 56340 Carnac, France". This makes validation of geocoding more difficult!
