  Should the rook's pawn be advanced or not?

  Those endgames are fundamentally different - one has rook pawns and a distant passed pawn (83); the second has rook pawns and a passed bishop pawn on the same wing (85).
  
  The reason in the second case (85) is you may need a tempo move with the rook pawn on its original square. It's explained very clearly in the book.
