Third view:

There are roughly 100 completely different ways to make "15.3" out
of "16" by deleting one base pair from the segment between the two
primers. I don't see any need to suppose that one 15.3 is a match
to any other 15.3, unless you actually sequence the PCR product.
Have you verified that they are indeed identical?
