Narrative:
On preflight of 2 different aircraft; I noticed 2 annunciator differences. These are frequently changed at the company and didn't think much of it. Upon another annunciator problem on dec/xa/05; I now think that perhaps the wrong annunciator panel for that model was installed and notified my company to check it out.
