They are not quite aligned. In each of the Regular and the Monospace there are two main groups, and in-turn those groupings vary slightly different between Regular and Monospace. Beyond that there are small "mathematical" differences and some optical intentions.

  Monospace R17: >-< and +=
  Regular 0.70: >=<+ and -

The main cause issue at hand is that the '-' hyphen has to be a hyphen that works in everyday (mainly lowercase) prose. But the hyphen is also something that gets abused to make ASCII art, to act as a minus sign before numerals and as various operators, in the case of the monospace these are probably like to occur more frequently, hopefully testing may bring back information about how much of an issue it is.
