When comparing two malware samples, which observation indicates they are different variants of the same malware family rather than identical files?

Identical MD5 and SHA-256 hashes

Same file size and timestamp

Different PE file types (one EXE, one DLL)

Same section names, APIs, and strings but different hashes
