(disclaimer: I am the main MediaInfo developer)
In your case I think the video bit rate is estimated by MediaInfo from 
container size minus audio size minus estimated container overhead, and 
the difference may be due to some padding bytes in the MXF stream not 
copied by FFmpeg (for good reasons) and not the video stream size 
itself. MediaInfo is not intended to be used for such small difference 
check, at least by default (i.e. without scanning the whole file).
An additional information about if the indicated size is computed for 
sure or estimated is on our ToDo-list without ETA.
