I don't see anything that jumps out as a recognizable tag in either file
but all I did was to run "strings" against it.

There are apps like Shazam or SoundHound that can identify a piece of
music by listening to it.  I can see an app giving a false ID, or multiple
choices if it's not sure, or a database at the back end having incorrect
information and offering both tracks up, especially if it's built off
of album track listings.
