Those cambered curling bars came into vogue in the sixties. And ever
since then it seems no two of them weights the same! The court of
final resort is this: weigh each one, maybe marking it with a
permanent marker so everybody's on the same page. Some are made from
hollow tubing, others solid iron bent to shape. Some are longer,
others are shorter. There's just no standard in size or shape, hence
no common ground for weight.

I've wondered at times about weighing lat machine bars. They, too,
vary in size, shape, hence weight. With my equipment, a long, heavier
lat bar definitely pulls away from the weight stack when changing
selector pins. This probably makes a small difference when using
lighter weights in single joint movements. Oh well...
