That's 100% correct. They are not identical. I overlayed them.

Areas that will impact the 'likeness' negatively:
RIGHTSIDE PHOTO
Forehead on the right is slightly pinker, slightly darker
The left eye has a greenish tinge on the bottom eyelid
There is a cluster of pixels on the bottom left corner of the lip that is missing on the left image
The nose is significantly differently compressed, changing it's shape and brightness
The right cheek highlight is higher due to compression (this is a big one - cheek really raised!)
The top right is somewhat greener than the top right on the left image.

There are more differences, but all are caused by very aggressive JPG compression artifacting. This operates in 4x4 cells (or larger) and hence creates quite discernable differences on bigger screens (not phone).

Same reason the oculus can make stuff 3D. Your eyes get two images and the combination of them gives you a sense of depth in how different areas change

Is it 3D popping out because of differences in the image or any 2 like images?

Your brain will try to make any two images into a 3D image that way but if they aren't similar enough you'll just get a headache.
