The way how the voltages turn on and off is different for switching supplies
(like PSU3) and linear supplies (like PSU2). It depends upon the module in
question how it responds during power on as at this moment the circuits are
not yet in the normal working state. It depends upon how fast the voltages
turn on, the sequence (+12V and -12V turn on with a small delay in between)
and the individual slope (the voltages turn not on nstantaneously). But I'd
expect that the two PSU3 behave in the same way. You may swap the two PSU3
to find out if it has to do with the PSU or the wiring. To be on the safe
side I'd measure the output voltages. They should read +12.0V and -12.0V
with not more than 1% tolerance (i.e. 11.0 - 12.1). But if all modules work
as they should after power on I think everything is OK.
