Looks to me like one board supports AM2/AM2+/AM3 and one only supports AM2+/AM3, that's strange.

EDIT: Also, only the a3+ will support DDR3. If that matters to you. So the differences are in which processors are supported and only one of them is DDR3. Which one to get depends on what you would like to be able to run.
