If I access:
https://www.facebook.com/clubambassadeur
I get a specific number for "were here"
But if I access:
http://graph.facebook.com/clubambassadeur
I get a different number listed under checkins.
Why are these two numbers different? I was assuming they represent the same thing.

The word 'where' is used to ask questions about the location/position/place. The word 'were' is used as a plural past tense of the 'be' form of verb. It is used as an Adverb.
Whereas was is the singular past tense of to be, were is used for both the third person plural past tense (they and we) and the second person past tense (you). In the past indicative, were acts similar to was. “They were at the store,” you could say, for example.
Were? Chances are, you're familiar with one difference between was and were: that was is the first and third-person singular past tense of the verb to be, while were is the second-person singular past and plural past of to be.
“Were” is simply a plural past-tense form of the verb “are.” To talk about something happening now or in the future, use “we're”; but to talk about something in the past, use “were.” If you can't substitute “we are” for the word you've written, omit the apostrophe.
Your first link's "were here" equals check-ins + friends tagged in the check-ins that a place has got.
Your second link shows only check-ins, which is a sub-set of "were here" and doesn't include tagged people.

Although many people online agree with Gunnar, I don't think his is the correct answer.
Please compare these two:
It seems highly unlikely that an average checkin has 41 people tagged.
Here's what I think:

I know the question is some years old but nevertheless I stumbled upon it and didn't found a proper explanation. So there is a documentation now: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/page tells:
checkins:
Number of checkins at a place represented by a Page.
were_here_count
The number of visits to this Page's location. [...]
So what I do understand: A page can have a location. That location can have multiple pages (which makes sense, imagine a shopping mall: same address, multiple shops=>pages). The checkins represent the value of all visitors of that page(= shop), whereas were_here_count stands for all visits from all locations which do have the exact coordinates. Sadly I couldn't find an example for proving that.
