Can't sync DVX 100/100A picture.

I did a two camera shoot with a DVX 100 and 100A recently and tried to set the 30p scene files up identically. I know the 100A has a few more settings, but those settings didn't pertain to what I needed. I wanted the colors (and all aspects of the different color settings) to match and yield the same picture on my field monitor. Oddly, I could not get the images to look the same on a monitor when applying the same settings.

Is this a surprise to anyone? Are the chips any different? This was very unnerving as I couldn't rely on the numeraical adjustments that should have given me the same picture. It cost me a lot of time since I had to eyeball the picture of one camera and make adjustments in the other to match that - eyeballing again.

Thanks for advice folks.
 
The prism is different between them, and the pictures do not match. With manual white balancing and tweaking in the menus you can make them match, but they don't match straight up with the same settings on each.
