I can't say for sure from your team webpage, but usually when you see 2 different numbers of blocks its caused by Distributed using two different definitions of a 'block'. One type is for buffering on your disk and internet fetches, The other is the actual work.
If you are generating a log file try taking a look at a block submission. It will have something like '40 blocks [143*10^28] kkeys' The 143 is actually the important number in there, and its the one that shows up on the stats. The 40 blocks(disk) it lists can be anywhere from 1*2^28 to 8*2^28 keys, = 1 to 8 blocks(stats). So the 40 blocks(disk) can show up on the stats as anywhere from 40 to 320 blocks(stats).
Either that or someone doing random blocks turned in a bunch of your blocks earlier.

well i might add that 749 of the 1041 blocks were random blocks

And with client v441 (?) and up, it will dish out up to 32*2^28 keys when set to 2^33 keyblock size. Not recommended for less than a pII, as it would take a long time for a 32*2^28 block to complete on a slower machine, the risk of losing all that crunch time is high.
