these aren't different G chords ... just different voicings. I have
seen them notated a variety of ways the most common being:

 G           G (type 2)
----       ----
320003     320033

320003 and 320033 are the diagrams, obviously.

Just like there is no difference between G (3x0003) and G (355433) --
still a G chord.
