How about a grafting scar? Did the landscape maple show a graft union on the trunk? This is the most common difference you will see. Maples grown for bonsai most often will not have been grafted. On some less hardier varieties, they may have been grafted, but it will be very low right upon the roots.
Maples grown for the landscape on the other hand will have a graft scar clearly upon the trunk.
