Zeiss lenses have certain signature, but it does not show in every image. It does not show in the comparison either. Apart from the difference in exposure,

This is a question to you because I wonder why this happens sometimes. Are you referring to exposure casually as the difference in result? Technically, the exposures were the same, same aperture, same shutter speed, same ISO. The result was just different.

Could this possibly be the result of different coatings on the lenses or the result of available light at the different times of the exposures? I don't think the results are far enough apart to damage the comparison but it would be nice match the exposure results (though this may take a controlled studio environment).

Another consideration. These exposures were part of the brackets I shot for insurance that I would have a matching shutter speed for the comparison. They were not necessarily the metered shutter speed of the actual light.

the pictures look the same to me. WRT resolution - I think that with most lenses of this calibre, they are good enough for the print sizes I make and for the resolution of my camera. One thing that bothered me on the 28 was purple fringing. the Canon might be better in this respect.
