Skeletons are bare whereas mummies were covered in linen bandages.
A mummy is better preserved than a skeleton. They still have their skin (however leathery and shriveled up it may be) and sometimes even hair.

What is a possible evolutionary explanation for how the skeletons can be similar but the functions very different in each of the animals?
Simply put, skeletons are similar because the organisms processing them arose from common ancestry. All mammals for instance, have skeletons that are quite similar because all mammal skeletons arose from common ancestry in the Mesozoic age. These mammal skeletons are used in different manner by the entry of populations of organisms into different environments where individuals were selected along lines of adaptation to those different environments. Then the different populations of mammals arose with the very similar skeletons being used in very different ways. Consider yourself, your dog, and whales to see the similarities in skeletal structure with vast differences in use.
