The first address fails the Base58Check checksum, so it’s not valid. The second one passes and decodes to a proper version 0 (P2PKH) hash.

Ah im an idiot i accidentally added an additional character at the front of the top one, it passes if you include it (11wizSAYSbuyXbt9d8JV8ytm5q69NaCfJ).

As do all these

"1WizSAYSbuyXbt9d8JV8ytm5q663tk94u",

"1WizSAYSbuyXbt9d8JV8ytm5q69PymsLb",

"1WizSAYSbuyXbt9d8JV8ytm5q69PymsLb",

And these (your npub padded by 1s)

"1Npub1w78wrepa4wz5odvqLq1112PjcmD",

"1HfeL834gv3282grjeg5cw2e6311CxBVx",

"1Eqszny2ms2jovtt111czzzzzzzywryfu"
