I didn't extract the contents of uImage but the uImage package/file itself from both customer and factory update.bin were binary identical.

Yes, that would be the package.
If they are identical, that means they contain conditionals that make a difference in what they load.
Back in K5 and earlier, the initramfs was binary, not scripted (scripted is/was common elsewhere).
Also, Amazon/Lab126 failed to include the GPL-v2 source code for those binaries.
I have not check any recent firmware versions to know if those practices have changed since the K5 days.
Of all the initramfs and kernel files I posted over the years, if anyone disassembled them, nobody reported anything.
IDA does a decent job of such binaries, but keep in mind, the freeware version does not support ARM, only IDA-Pro ($$$) supports non-Intel.
