Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores prunes at a serving of not recommended even at small servings; at 1 prune (about 9 g) or more it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
