Dism wim export and split different hashes

$

I have a rather weird question.

I am in the process of creating bootable media/ images and I noticed every time I split a .wim into smaller .swm files the file hashes change for the .swm file every single time. So say I split-image from the win to install.swm twice none of the 4 exported files match hashes when they are identical.

Additionally I noticed That if I export A source index, say I only want windows 11 pro the hash changes every single time using dism /export-image sourceindex:1… the original wim is the same and came directly from Microsoft’s download servers. Is there a reason for this?? Metadata? The way it splits the files is different every time??

So if I export the first source index 10 times the filehash is different every time even though nothing else is changing.
