with the private key "4efa6c238595b26de667cc9ba23beed9906d4a9a319e93578fd85994f4169bf7" I get 5 addresses:
1. 1L5Ey3hpFzQqcEugomCSaPFH8ca9N2W2RN
2. 1HXaZVhSNH79X59e1oVWSsz1rrVP4YYKon
3. 32BJnWpLNKAEGFLPvut8GLNNSGYryiAxzU

If I try the first 3 of those addresses, in the link https://blockchain.info/es/addresstohash/XXX to obtain the hash, I get 3 different hashes.

1. d137b65522710266fcc2cd8f0c8daf6b963fb72b
2. b54a818eb9127b8194cde7585f7bcb39e9fa8375
3. 0559b8e6183c729d2b9a1d74b4ac46b3dafd54b2

That's because different inputs will produce different hash values:
  • 1. Is the HASH160 of the uncompressed public key of that private key.
  • 2. is the HASH160 of the compressed public key of that private key.
  • 3. is the HASH160 of the Redeem Script which is [t]OP_0[/tt] <length> the HASH160 of the public key.
