Can the same rider take different sizes on these two bikes?

Yes. Frame labels are not standardized, so the same rider may need different sizes. This comparison deliberately avoids a generic matched-size answer and hands your measurements to Bike Fit instead.

Which frame has the higher front: Canyon Grizl CF 7 ESC or Specialized Diverge 4?

The frame front of Specialized Diverge 4 is slightly higher, by about 4 mm. That difference alone does not settle your position.
