Credit score on pre approval 50 points lower?

Husband and I were preapproved for a home loan.
I asked the loan officer what my credit score came in as- as I’m curious to how they compare to apps.

He said 758.

My scores in my apps
Credit Karma 811/815
Experian shows 808 Fico

My CC APPS also show all over 800.

He said something about they use a certain way of calculating your credit score but 50 point difference seems pretty crazy to me. I can see a few points or even 20, but 50?

Is this normal?

Why did my soft pull for pre approval credit score come in so much lower?

Is this normal? Any experience or insight is appreciated.

Also, it was just a soft pull as the hard pull will happen when we find a house and make an offer etc. will the hard hit issue a different result or no?
