#1 presents the doing as a fact.
#2 presents the doing as a logical certainty. Only the full context can tell us whether it was actually done.

deepujiNo,I don't think so.Correct. Here is a context:
My keys are lying on the kitchen floor.
I can't remember dropping them, but I must have done that because, there they are.
And, as you get older, you will find yourself saying "I must have .." more and more.
