I think it has a lot to do with, like buddy-x-wing said, where it was filmed, but it also has a lot to do with different directors.  If you look at ESB, THAT'S the film where this distinction is most evident, and that's because Kershner did it deliberately.  He made all the Rebels American and all the Imperials British.  But the first film certainly isn't as divided as that, particularly due to much of the British cast being redubbed with Americans.
