It might also be caused by parallax. The image might have been taken at different points in the Earth's orbit around the sun.

That's a really good point. I think there's a high chance that the photos were taken from quite different locations because Hubble orbits the earth at 570km, whereas JWST is actually at the L2 Lagrangian point, which is about 1.5 million km away from Earth.
