Since the store may have an earlier (non-canonical, but valid) version of the block available, we need to only compare the actual header and not the commits/signatures.
This is because it can happen that during the immediate sync the light block does not yet contain all of the commits (but only just enough to be valid, e.g. 2/3+) and this gets stored in the light block store. Later on (e.g. during a query) the presented light block may have the full set of commits.
