P3D Olympus XA2 questions

Once in a while the XA2s exposures vary, probably due to the
displacement of separate auto sensors. I decided to check and remove the
batteries for the first time. One camera has a pair of LR44s that tested
OK with a battery tester. The other camera had 1 LR44 and 1 #357
battery. All the batteries tested fine but the #357 tested considerably
stronger. Is this match-up OK and are the voltages similar between these
batteries? Will a battery mismatch between cameras affect the auto
exposure readings between cameras given the exact same scene? Thanks.

BTW, the audible test tone of one camera is a higher pitch than the
other....does the tone vary from camera to camera in production....or is
this a conclusive fact that one camera has  better batteries than the
other?
