IAS Source?

In the fourth image, the 429's IAS on the PFD shows 46/47kt yet the 'steam gauge' shows closer to 55kt. Is there a simple explanation for such a discrepancy? I realise there are dual pitot-static tubes on the nose - do they feed the instruments separately and thus account for the difference?

Just wondering for curiosity's sake and my own education!
