here the numbers do not match:

RX: 28359275 + 1421 = 28360696 - 28360664 = 32
TX: 28358167 + 3039 = 28361206 - 28361174 = 32

If it's just 32, I would not worry, it may be the sampling interval or something..

I guess you are right... so once I stop the traffic, they start to match.

the question is, shouldn't the counter value of the master, directly calculated from the two slaves?
How can the master counters collected separately?
