What’s distinction between createmultisig and addmultisigaddress? I ran 2 strategies for two similar bitcoin handle on bitcoin-cli however provides completely different addresses as multisig to me. the outcomes are as follows:

>  bitcoin-cli -testnet createmultisig 2 "["03f47a5115cd9e5e21b94136db90e2e3d6ac7e40396d8e62f73df3fd3fcfb3f214","0395ad430034c1761bbe9b4dfd784fb06229970d54016a7e090fc6ceb3814611b5"]"
