In terms of functionality, there is no difference. However, the packaging is different. The mapviewer.ear file that comes with a full installation of Oracle Application Server (located under the $ORACLE_HOME/lbs directory) is smaller than the one you download from OTN. The difference is sdovis.jar, which is not packaged inside the former, but is included with the latter. As such, if you are deploying the native mapviewer.ear to the Oracle Application Server, you must explicitly add the sdovis.jar file (located under $ORACLE_HOME/lbs/lib) to its library path. On the other hand, if you are deploying a mapviewer.ear file that is downloaded from OTN (either a production version or a preview version), you should skip the step that adds the sdovis.jar file. sdovis.jar is the core rendering engine of MapViewer.
