    FW version is using even values for RGB: 30, 30, 30 > 29, 29, 29 >28, 28, 28 with no dither.

    PS version is using uneven values: 30, 30, 30 > 30, 30, 29 > 29, 30, 30 > 29, 29, 30 and is dithered.

    The FW one is 'correct' as it only uses true grey values and the PS one is a dithered mix of red, green and blue tinted pixels - do a Levels adjustment on it in PS and bring the white level down to around 35 and zoom in.

    There aren't enough colour steps in the gradient from 30 to 00 over that distance so you'll get banding. Might help to add monochrome noise to the FW version, or try DepthDither plugin:
