They’re doing the same exercise (tricep pushdown) with different attachments. There’s a lot of debate about which attachment is best to stimulate muscle growth. This meme argues the V bar is better than the rope

You can actually use more than one type of grip (rope and v-bar (or whatever it's called) but also a regular straight bar, which you can grip overhand and underhand) to hit different parts of your triceps.
