the clamping force inst dictated by the mfg of the bolt but by its physical properties, angle of thread, diameter of thread, surface friction (if they both are lobricated it will be same) and the friction under the bolt head when torquing...

so unless they are torque to yield (which main bolts are not) the clamping force will be the same if you torque them simmilarly..... so sleep tight and dont worry about it...
