st: xtabond2 with just-identified model

Hello users,

What does it mean to run a just-identified model with gmmstyle instruments
using xtabond2?
How come it produces different results from when you run ivstyle
regressions? 

I run my just-identified model like this:

xtabond2 kostnader intäkter dum1-dum17 lnpopulation lnzerofour
lnsixtyfiveplus, gmm(intäkter, laglimits(3 3)) iv(dum1-dum17 lnpopulation
lnzerofour lnsixtyfiveplus) robust noleveleq artests(3)

How come the overidentification tests are run even though I only use one
instrument? And why are the results not the same as the following two codes
using ivreg2 and xtabond2:

ivreg2 D.kostnader dum1-dum16 D.(lnpopulation lnzerofour lnsixtyfiveplus)
(D.intäkter=L3.intäkter), cluster(kod)

xtabond2 kostnader intäkter dum1-dum16 lnpopulation lnzerofour
lnsixtyfiveplus, iv(dum1-dum16 lnpopulation lnzerofour lnsixtyfiveplus)
iv(L3.intäkter, passthru) robust noleveleq artests(3)

The two codes above produce the same results?

There is some intuition here that I am not getting about the gmmstyle
instrument matrix. 
Is there someone out there that can help me sort out the concepts here?

Thank you!
