I think you covered about every possible reason why something like this

reason why and this is a good example of one of those things.
The biggest cosmetic difference here is the different surface texture in
the patch compared to old. The stones are right on the surface rather than
settled as in the finished older work. I suspect it dried too quickly and

surface. Or, maybe it rained and the top was washed away. When you buy
readymix in bags you should buy extra Portland cement to give better
durability for the topcoat smooth surface.
