well, as the doc says, "show mpls ldp forwarding" shows
"the LDP forwarding entries and provides LDP view of its
installed forwarding entries",
while the "show mpls forwarding" displays the real LFIB used by forwarding, and also contains entries from different protocols like L2VPN, BGP or RSVP/TE.
While they look similar, conceptually I would consider the ldp variant still more control-plane, so unless you are troubleshooting LDP/LIB vs. LFIB inconsistencies, I would use "show mpls forwarding ..." to look at the forwarding-plane...
