It tells you that different companies specify and produce their propellers different, with different interpretations of the word "pitch" (although "diameter" is unambiguous enough that I wouldn't expect much variation).
Now if you try a dozen "identical" props from those same three manufacturers, you'll find out about manufacturing variation as well.
Diameter and pitch only tell part of the story. The area of each blade, the variation in the width of the blade over the diameter, the tip shape, and the distribution of the blade angle all affect the propeller performance. I wouldn't be surprised if the surface finish didn't play an important part, too, at least for some props. Add to that the fact that some props will bend and unload (like your Kavan), and you have lots of variables that are all hidden behind those two innocent-looking numbers.
Top Flight used to sell "regular" wood props and "power" wood props which were basically the same only with a narrower blade -- and they performed differently.
Now forget to balance the props and suddenly you've got another whole set of variables (you did balance them, didn't you?). A poorly balanced prop will sap power from the engine, generally make your whole setup act strange (except, possibly, at startup), and shorten the life of airframe and engine.
