The OP's use of --noprofile and --norc suppress most of those differences. One little thing I noticed has to do with "posix mode". sh enters posix mode only after trying to source input files, while bash is in posix mode all the time. One difference when not in posix mode is that sourcing of files will search the currently directory. It seems a little far-fetched that this would affect the setting of PATH, but at the same time, it is all related to whether the current directory is searched or not ...
