I suspect that the smaller one is using Certicom's patented point compression

Hello Bill
Thanks for your answer but I
don't think so. Following this url,
http://tls.secg.org/index1.php?action=certificate
the uncompressed size is 43 bytes and the compressed
form 22

Not sure on the signature part of your question.

Subject: sect163k1 public keys
hello
It seems that sect163k1 public keys can have two formats
The first with a key lentgh of 43 bytes which seems to be the standard,
the second used by openssl with length 64 bytes.
Can anyone tell me where I can find informations on that and what it the
impact on signature.
I used a development snapshot (openssl-SNAP-20080930) of openssl
Thanks for your help
