Difference between TIFF image vs TIFF file

These 2 files are TIFF files but the file type is different, one is TIFF IMAGE and TIFF File. Can someone tell me the difference between them? I can't find the exact reason.

EDIT:

After enabling file extension

The exiftool utility will tell you more reliably what is really in an image file:

exiftool -S3 -filetype SOMEIMAGE.JPG
JPEG

Now change the extension (which Windows relies on) to pretend it's a TIFF, but without changing the content so it actually remains a JPEG, then try again:

REN SOMEIMAGE.JPG SOMEIMAGE.TIFF
exiftool -S3 -filetype SOMEIMAGE.TIFF
JPEG
