The P. R. C. Indication on the AFCS annunciation strip, is shoung "Collective" in the RH AFCS Annunciator?? Which seems illogical.
Depends what logic process you apply, I guess. EC seem to use the logic that the collective is physically on the left, but on the PFD you could equally argue that the functions to which it pertains - ALT, V/S and G/S - are all on the right.

One thing I introduced a while back, and tried to get the OEM to adopt too, is the use of the expression FMA - Flight Mode Annunciator. It is absolutely the standard expression used accross all the FW manufacturers, operators and other bodies (just look at the guidance on level busts, or NPAs). Every RW manufacturer has a different term for it (SAC call it the PFD header strip!) and consequently operators have no standard term too.
