I would guess that the former came from "pip install ipython" and that
the latter came from an an environment set up with pyenv.

This is a small shell script wrapper, presumably hooking into your pyenv
setup to find the "real" ipython.

This is the Python boilerplate wrapper with pip uses to install an
ipython executable script in a bin directory.
You may find that the shell script from .pyenv/shims eventually executes
a python script like the one from .local/bin. Try going:
bash -x ~/.pyenv/shims/ipython3
and see what its final command does.
