%> ncl_filedump wrf.11102100.grb > dump.wrf.11102100
%> ncl_filedump wrf.11102112.grb > dump.wrf.11102112

The files are different sizes:
       13295 Oct 27 07:32 dump.wrf.11102100
       10171 Oct 27 07:32 dump.wrf.11102112

The files you sent do not contain the same variables
nor similarly sized forecast_time{0,4,5}.

Further, the grids look different.
