"Pāntli" is used in the Aztec Wikipedia page about the flag of Mexico.

I noticed that recently the Aztec Wikipedia page above changed its title to Pāmitl Mēxihco, by means of automatic redirection («Ōmotlacuep īhuīcpa Mēxihco pāntli»). I dont know the exact difference between "pāntli" and "pāmitl", but both seem to mean "flag" and it seems to me that this is a grammar variant (as in ergative/nominative?), and not a difference in spelling, semantics, or dialect.
