Interesting. The C7 numbers are nearly the exact same as I got on my 2014 M7 on a DynoJet. And this C7 M7 dyno looks like so many others: 407-417 SAE corrected on a DynoJet.
I'm not buying there is any difference in the engine however. The SAE ratings by GM (and any OEM) are from very tightly controlled tests, and all the LT1 come from Tonawanda. What IS different is the intake and the driveline. Both of which could be more efficient in the Camaro. And I guess the calibration could be tweaked since it came 2 years after the Corvette validation and EPA certification.
On the intake side, I find it interesting that the Camaro curve looks exactly like mine did after adding the aFe CAI...exact same deltas.

How many miles did each car have?

The LT1 in the Camaro has a much less restrictive exhaust system with tubular manifolds as where the corvette is still cast iron manifolds with a normal collector. The motors are exactly the same. Slap some headers on the Corvette and the numbers are besting the camaro with no issue
