Small discrepancy in Kinetic Energy after restarting the simulation

Hi everyone,
After restarting my simulation I observe that the potential energy is
exactly the same whereas the kinetic energy differs slightly(Shown below).
Where does this very small discrepancy in kinetic energy comes from? I was
considering an roundoff error ....but shouldn't be the same round off error
included in the potential energy then?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Mert
