The difference in what objects were visible in panels A and B of the figures result from the lack of specificity of the angle in the methods. If the angle from which the original pictures were taken were included in the methods, more of the objects in the replicate pictures would have been more like those in the original. This is why there is more ground in Figure 1A than in Figure 2A along with more roof in figure 2A than in Figure 1A.  

There is a higher density of flowers in Figure 2B than Figure 1B because it is not specified in the methods which exact flowers on the trees should be photographed. This is why pictures of different flowers on the tree were taken for both figures. If the exact flower or flowers on the tree and the location was specified in the methods, Panel B in both figures would be more similar if not exactly the same.

Panels A and B from both figures have sunlight in them since they were taken around the same time of day. The differences in exposure and shadow are due to the different cameras used. Different cameras were used because the type of camera is not specified in the methods. If the exposure and shadow were the same in both pictures for both figures, the panels would not have different shades of colors from one another.

The difference in Panel C in both figures is due to misscoloring of the native origins by the person who followed the methods. This is because the coloring in Figure 2C matches the coloring in Figure 1C but it is not within the outlines of the native regions as it is in Figure 1C. If the matching coloring of Figure 2C matched that in 1C, the maps of Figure 1C and 2C would be the same.

The label fonts of the panels are different in both figures because the methods does not specify the type of font. The location of the panels are different in both figures because the methods does not specify where to put the panels in respect to being above or below the labels. The methods only specifies within the left or right of directions of the labels. This is why the panels in Figure 2 are to the right of and below the panel labels. This is unlike the panels in Figure 1 which are only to the right of the panel labels. The figures would be more identical if the location of the panels had more clarity.

The panels in Figure 1 are more narrow than those in Figure 2 since the methods does not specify exactly what the length and width of the panels should be. The methods only specified the length and width of the map image in Panel C. If the length and width of the panels were specified, the figures would look more identical overall regarding the layout.
