Please keep in mind that apt and apt-get are two different commands.
That said, their sets of upgrade subcommands overlap a bit. Checking
the manual pages

  apt    : upgrade full-upgrade
  apt-get: upgrade dist-upgrade dselect-upgrade

Upon first glance manual pages make it look as if full-upgrade and
dist-upgrade are the same but I am not sure the details of package
dependency conflict resolution it identical for both.

On top of that, if you've been tinkering with configuratin options
results may differ yet again.

On Beowulf, a `man apt` gives a manual page dated 2019-01-27. If you
didn't install man-db and/or are looking for on-line manual pages, try

https://manpages.debian.org/apt

Hope this helps,
