[c-nsp] Adjusting TCAM allocation weird behavior on 7600

On my OP, I mentioned that I have two supervising engine on SSO mode 
which is:
   1    5  Route Switch Processor 720 10GE (Activ RSP720-3CXL-10GE
   2    5  Route Switch Processor 720 10GE (Hot)  RSP720-3CXL-10GE

Though, the second one was added much later. I was running 
c7600rsp72043-adventerprisek9-mz.153-1.S1.bin before but now I updated 
it to c7600rsp72043-adventerprisek9-mz.153-3.S3.bin.

Running "sh mls cef max", I see:
#sh mls cef maximum-routes
FIB TCAM maximum routes :
=======================
Current :-
-------
  IPv4 + MPLS         - 512k (default)
  IPv6 + IP Multicast - 256k (default)

User configured :-
---------------
  IPv4                - 768k
  MPLS                - 24k
  IPv6 + IP Multicast - 112k (default)

Upon reboot :-
-----------
  IPv4                - 768k
  MPLS                - 24k
  IPv6 + IP Multicast - 112k (default)


BUT "remote command switch show mls cef max", I see:
FIB TCAM maximum routes :
=======================
Current :-
-------
  IPv4 + MPLS         - 512k (default)
  IPv6 + IP Multicast - 256k (default)

Could this mean that the two sups are not sync? Here is the output of 
show redundancy states:

#sh redundancy states
        my state = 13 -ACTIVE
      peer state = 8  -STANDBY HOT
            Mode = Duplex
            Unit = Primary
         Unit ID = 1

Redundancy Mode (Operational) = sso
Redundancy Mode (Configured)  = sso
Redundancy State              = sso
      Maintenance Mode = Disabled
  Communications = Up

    client count = 169
  client_notification_TMR = 30000 milliseconds
           keep_alive TMR = 9000 milliseconds
         keep_alive count = 1
     keep_alive threshold = 18
            RF debug mask = 0x0
