The image that has *3 is an RGB image. The image that does not have *3 is a grayscale image (or a pseudocolor image)

Sometimes if you save images without specifying the correct options you could get an image stored as color even though it's grayscale. I often see jpg or bmp images that people uploaded as having 3 color channels even though it's a grayscale image in appearance. It saved it as color with all 3 channels being the same gray level image.
