From the charts that were highlighted in the article you linked:
The legend in the chart on the left indicates A2, A1B, etc which (as I understand it) is from the SRES (Special Report on Emissions Scenarios) (
Special Report on Emissions Scenarios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
The legend on the chart on the right indicates RCP2.6, RCP8.5 which (as I understand it) is from AR5 and is a Representative Concentration Pathway data set used to run a model (
Representative Concentration Pathways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Was there some expectation stated somewhere that the B1 scenario of emissions would provide the exact same results as the RCP2.6 pathway of concentrations?
