It's been my experience that although the penetration of the 5.56 is better than the 7.62x39, the 5.56 tends to break up into small fragments after hitting a hard target like a steel plate. The 7.62 holds together more often.
We were once firing at an old pole of some kind that was probably around 8mm thick. Both rounds were easily capable of piercing one side, but the 5.56 had problems with penetrating the other side, instead usually leaving a large bulge. The AK had no problems with both sides.
