@rcull,
It may have to do with the age of the page. I know my author page looked like your top one for a while, and then eventually it switched. It may also be a function of total likes.
It can also be Facebook doing some testing. They test pretty constantly, which is why often you'll see things but a friend might not. It's just Facebook playing with layouts and the like; they are continually developing the site.
Stumble It!
