1. Login to companyID_A
2. Create the transport bundle
3. Add the object configuration to the bundle
4. Initiated the transport request to companyID_B. 
5. Login to companyID_B
6. Validate the import request
7. Import the bundles.
   
   Check the specific objects and they have different "Database Field Names".

Working as designed.

As per Platform Product team, this is working as designed. Apparently, there is no guarantee that the database field names will have the same exact name for both instances after configuration transport. They have however emphasized that there won't be any data issue regarding this difference in the names. Customers/Partners doesn't need to be worried about this.
