As @GreenstoneWalker 's answer pointed out, many programs will not perceive of them as the same; a number with a leading zero (that does not contain the digits 8 or 9) will be understood as an octal-notation number; therefore 010.000.001.063 would be interpreted as "8.0.1.51" (octal 010 = decimal 8; octal 063 = decimal 51) instead of "10.0.1.63"!
