It's possible for a specific H2O panel to have better contrast than a specific ONE panel due to variations in manufacturing. I have two e Ink Pearl devices and one is noticeably darker than the other when side by side. It would not surprise me to see similar variations in different Carta panels.
The capacity touch layer chosen by Kobo has a noticeable impact on the contrast. This was very apparent when comparing the Touch HD to the One side by side. I wouldn't go so far as to call the H20 clearer, but i can see why that might be the impression.
