I have seen a couple of diferent versions that GIA uses on their certs to plot Princess stones. The table down view usually looks the same but the pavilion view has a different # of facets shown. Is this accurate?? It looks to me like the facet arrangement for my stone has only 45 facets. Is this correct? If so why would one be cut one way and others appear to have more like 53 facets. Look at the 2 links below and click on the cert. The first one looks like my cert the second clearly has more facets.

The clarity plots facet lines may not match to the diamond. There are numerous variations and the plots are boilerplates. One uses one that is close to the actual stone when possible.
