Ones a BMP (prior to logon) and the other a JPEG shown through Active Desktop (after logon).

Normal.

I never knew the technical reason (thanks, David!) but this has been
going on since Win95. Just set your desktop wallpaper to None, Apply.
Then set your desktop wallpaper to the one you want, Apply + OK. That
should do it.

I never knew why that was either. Thanks.

Then maybe you didn't describe the problem accurately. Try again after
you've gone to the link Ramesh gave you. Remember that we can't see
your computer from here. Are you talking about the boot screen or a
flash of older wallpaper before the desktop displays the chosen
wallpaper?
