Why is there a different load current in two identical DC generators in parallel operation?
In the real world getting parallel voltage sources to share the load is not easy.

The problem is that no two generators are exactly the same. If one outputs just slightly more voltage than the other or has slightly lower internal resistance it will take most of the load.

For example if we have two generators that are supposed to be producing 100V but one of them actually makes 101V it will take most of the load.  The example below assumes that each of the generators has 1 ohm internal resistance.
