Lee beat me to the punch.
I recommend using an external watt meter (the exact same for both
tests) and then measure the power external to the rigs.

II
If the ALC light is lighting on voice peaks and if the power
control is set for 95 watts CW/TUNE on both rigs, then both
are transmitting the same PEP. The different meter readings
could be caused by differences in meter circuit response to
the SSB signal.
