The firewalld.zones man page lists nine zones provided with the package (https://firewalld.org/documentation/man-pages/firewalld.zones.html). Two of those zones are the Home and Internal zones, and the respective xml files for these zones contain the same services (ssh, mdns, samba-client, and dhcpv6-client -- see the files in /usr/lib/firewalld/zones).
Is there a practical difference between the two zones?

No - not by default. They just have a different symbolic names. The shipped zone definitions are just defaults. You can of course modify the "home" or "internal" zones to your liking.
