Both are the same Bible.
The first Protestants not only the Catholic Church, as has just been a dramatic excess.

Protestant 66 books
Catholic 73
Additional books in the Bible are from the Roman Catholic Apocrypha. The apocryphal books were considered inspired and therefore were not recognized by the church as part of the Bible. At the Council of Trent (1546) the Catholic Church included in its Bible.

The first KJV of the Bible, in fact had all the 73 books, was the latter that the reformers took … mainly because these books sound very Catholic …
There are seventy-three books found in the Catholic Bible, forty-six in the Old Testament, twenty-seven in the New.
Copies Protestants often lack the seven books of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, and First and Second Maccabees and parts of the books of Esther 10:4-16:24, and Daniel 3:24-90, 13: 1-14:42) (translated into Greek before the birth of Christ), not found in editions of the Old Testament Jews. Because only the Greek Jews were rejected as Cannon …. only in Hebrew
These books were, and always have been in the original compilation of the Bible, which was approximately the late third century IV. These books were removed by an appointment of a council of the Church of England formed by the King of England during the Reformation … this was not an authoritative council that can show the lineage of the apostles as the RAC can and do today. The Protestant Church of England and separated from the Authority that actually chose the books that would be in the Bible. To say the Bible is the sole authority and then change it to not sound so Catholic confuses me. If the Bible is all 73 books until the reform .. Why question and change the same book as you consider your authority. Imacatholic2 has all the precise details of the subject .. I am simply confirm your reply
The Council of Trent reaffirmed mearly and end any doubt that these books belong in the Bible. hitherto never been questioned. They did a separate Protestant teaching of Catholic teaching, and show to the Catholic faithful that the authority of the Church is still in place and the original Bible will remain intact,

This is NOT an easy question to answer!
Roman Catholic Bibles: 73, although the first Roman Catholic English Bibles was 75
Protestant Bibles - some examples
* Luther's Bible - 73 + additional chapters
* King James Version (complete translation) - 75 + additional chapters
* Wyclif Bible - 76
* New American Standard Bible - 66
