Did you exactly replicate the simulations in your reference paper? Changes
in simulation length, cutoffs, electrostatics model, time-steps, etc. can
strongly influence your results. You do not give details about your
simulations and do not say how big the differences are that you see, so
its hard to judge if the results are reasonable.
Note that MD simulations (especially long ones) are not exactly
replicable. Due to round-off differences, trajectories diverge and you may
see slightly different results when running even the same simulation setup
twice.

Im not sure there is an 'actual' result, the behaviour of a water model
will depend on the physical parameters used in the simulation.
