How long have you noticed it being there? I've mailed pieces of both to a few people to see if they think they are different too. So far, all yes. Isn't it ironic, they're busy giving some plants 2nd and 3rd names, and we've got one we can't put one name on. That seems much more interesting to me...
FWIW, it makes a cool hanging plant, or you can guide it up a support, like the hanging arms of the hanging basket. Regular C. repens seems more interested in making side branches than going straight for the end of the world.
Does anybody understand the stuff at this link? What is "Leptocallisia?" Where are pics of the other Callisia species?

Close observation is hard work, but somebody's got to sit down with a cool drink and do it! So glad to have more folks in on the investigation. I'm on this task for the long haul, daggone it! Whenever there's something to report, I'll be here, making more tea and lemonade! Cheers!
