Not sure about this; from du's man page :

Display values are in units of the first available SIZE from
--block-size, and the DU_BLOCK_SIZE, BLOCK_SIZE and BLOCKSIZE
environment variables.
Otherwise, units default to 1024 bytes (or 512 if POSIXLY_CORRECT is
set).

vv=# select sum(pg_database_size(datid)) as total_size from
pg_stat_database;
total_size
------------

du -s base
