One changed is being used adjectivally, and the other as a regular verb. They mean different things, but are both grammatical. – Jason Bassford Aug 10 '20 at 17:31
... Rather, although the examples seem quirky, 'my wallet is changed' may mean 'my wallet is [somehow] different' but can also mean 'my wallet is exchanged', the transformational passive. 'I go to the counter, showing them the broken zip, and without any fuss, my wallet is changed.' – Edwin Ashworth Aug 11 '20 at 14:28
