So here you have mmcblk2.

Here you have mmcblk1.

Here also mmcblk1.

Did you rewrite this from the screen? Which one is correct, are you sure
the config is the same as what you're expecting?

The most major difference is in the file systems / partitions. The
root file system definition is commonly ignored and replaced with a
custom one. But it all depends on the image type you used. Then,
commonly the root file system is replaced with a uuid rather than
pointing to /dev/device directly, because it's unknown on what device it
will go. So in case the device is incorrect in the config, this will
happen. On the other hand you still get the original configuration.scm
in /run/current-system, so it can be confusing, because then the
reconfiguration leads to a change of the file-systems.
