Webcam config IR / same configs different behavior

What is the problem?

Setup of 2 indentical pi3b+ w/ picam IR with 2 SD cards running octoprint 1.3.11 :
#1. SD card w/ a legacy install
#2. SD card w/ a new install and backuped octopi configuration from card #1

both SD cards have the indentical config.txt and octopi.txt in /boot/

Pi running w/ SD card #1 has night vision truned on automaticly.
Pi running w/ SD card #2 night vision is turned of.

Changnig the cards changes the behavior of the pi's according to the cards.

Any clues what else to try?
