In the signers block of an Account response:

"signers": [
  {
    "public_key": "GBH25RYXAEDKPZUIMC5VJBKNYRUULY5B2LH5NVG6Q3RZPHK5KPFBZX7T",
    "weight": 1,
    "key": "GBH25RYXAEDKPZUIMC5VJBKNYRUULY5B2LH5NVG6Q3RZPHK5KPFBZX7T",
    "type": "ed25519_public_key"
  }
]

Under what circumstances would key and public_key differ?

They wouldn't necessarily differ, but public_key is deprecated, most likely since we have other types of signers now, in addition to just ed25519 keys (which are public keys).
