My bedroom windows are like that sort of. One opening in one wall is original to the house and the height is uniform to the rest of the 2nd floor windows. But the other opening on the same wall was added later and is about 3" or 4" higher. Those windows are about 3’apart so it’s not as obvious as the ones in the picture, but I guarantee the reason is the same: somebody didn’t measure properly. Ummm… There is a sill too, not just a sash… LOL
