Check whether the binary sha1 hashes are being encoded along the way. A
common way to encode sha1 hashe
Sha1sum output has 40 hexadecimal symbols. Each hexadecimal is
represented by 4 bits. So sha1sum has 40*4=160bits/20bytes output.
Probably you made some confusion about the sha1sum output representation.

DESCRIPTION
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a
160 bit output.
SHA1() computes the SHA-1 message digest of the n bytes at d and
places it in md (which must have space for SHA_DIGEST_LENG
