How can my score show significantly different values to me and to a bank the very same day?

I received an alert one day that my score dropped from 742 to 735. I was refinancing my mortgage and the very same day the bank checked the score. The FICO score showed 767 to them. I have a letter from them stating this fact. I had never been alerted on it being this high. It shows 735 to me to this date. How is this possible? This is veeeeeeeery confusing.

I doubt they pulled Plus scores or some other FAKOs. Some mortgage lenders pull scores from different FICO scoring models, there not the ones we purchase at this site.
 
Some examples:
 
Beacon (EQ) range 350-950, Empirica (TU) range 300-850 and Experian Fair Isaac range 375 to 900
 
These are all FICO scores!

The bank indicated Equifax as the source and Equifax uses FairIsaac scoring. Right? that's on the myfico.com home page.
