Default Solid oxygen generators ("candles")

If I am not wrong, "candles" for oxygen generation in Mir were made of
lithium perchlorate, whereas the same device in ISS is made of
potassium perchlorate. I think that both devices, for Mir and for ISS,
were manufactured by the russians... So, why that change in their
composition?
