Why have my Ubuntu 22.04 systems got different versions of some packages?

once again, "apt policy libnotify-bin" is your friend ... 

running it on both systems should reveal the difference (0.7.9-3ubuntu5
was in the main archive at 22.04 release date ... 
0.7.9-3ubuntu5.22.04.1 is a typical version string for a package coming
from the *-updates repo ...) 

a) there might (very likely) again be phasing involved 
b) the second machine might not have the *-updates repo enabled

... i think a) is more likely than b) and b) would be a bug in the
update-manager code unless you explicitly disabled *-updates ...
