Look again...there are NO matches.
Your first query has MLA10168, MLA10182, MLA10183, MLA10193, MLA1051, MLA1052, MLA1053, MLA1054, MLA1055, MLA10616
Your second query has MLA30965, MLA30987, MLA30986
There is nothing between those two that match and you have an inner join so there are no rows returned because that is how many matches there are.
