Comparison of Mars Pictures

Compare the pictures below. Though the angle they are taken at is slightly different, they are the same place on Mars. Although the Mars Express is about 6-8 years newer than Mars Global Surveyor, why is there such a huge difference in these pictures? This region of Mars is called Reull Vallis. The pictures came from the links shown. I think this comparison is interesting because seems to suggest NASA (or MSSS) does, in fact, doctor and filter certain images before releasing them. Another interesting Mars anomaly is shown here.
