After a conversation with James Bonfield and looking at this further, I recall 
that the bases at positions 1330-1340 in the outdated NC_001807.4 mitochondrial 
DNA sequence are GTCAAGGTGTA.

So it would appear that you have a GRCh37/hg19 mtDNA.fasta file that you used 
to align input.bam and in the faidx command shown, and a separate GRCh38/hg38 
mtDNA.fasta file that you used in the mpileup command.
