All being equal, when one receives a payment on his personal bank account, in 1st case from a person, in the 2nd one from a company - would the bank view the two payments differently, in any respect?

In terms of scrutiny, for instance.

And is the bank more likely to ask for a document of the source of a transaction in the 2nd case?

Are there other ways in which they're viewed differently by the bank as well?

I believe that the bank is more likely to ask for e.g. the source of funds when it comes to things such as the frequency of those payments, and the amounts (larger amounts will of course trigger alarms earlier). Banks also scan the payment details, and where the payment themselves come from of course (e.g. receiving funds from a tax heaven may trigger additional alarms). It is difficult to answer this question, as banks flag payments based on multiple factors.
