The transfer function is the same but the output may not be exactly
the same.

If the amplitudes and frequencies of the sine and triangle are the
same, the sine has twice the rate of change of voltage at the zero
crossings, compared to the triangle wave, so the comparator passes
through the linear gain input range twice as fast for the sine wave.
Of course the linear input range is very small, so the difference may
not be noticeable unless you make very careful measurements, or the
frequency is very low.
