Calculation of kills and victory points in /Eve/FacWarStats?

Looking at /Eve/FacWarStats API endpoint one can see that the total reported for killsYesterday does not equal the sum of killsYesterday for each faction. The total killsYesterday have a few more kills to it.

This is also reflected in killsTotal. The total killsTotal value is 731 kills higher than summing killsTotal for each together. Ok, granted, it is a small difference when the number reported is above two million. But how come these numbers differ at all if they are all calculated during DT each day?

Are there FW kills that are not attributed to any faction but shows up in the total number?

Or is the DT so short that the script pulling these data together does not act on the same data set when doing the different polls?

The same seems to be applicable for victoryPointsYesterday and related values. However, I am unsure that the total value is supposed to reflect something different than the sum of the faction values and this is the root cause. The difference here is much large than for kill values. victoryPointsYesterday total value is 87300 while summing the factions together gets me to 61020. This is a difference of 25-30% (depending on perspective).
