Presumably the setups are only "nearly" the same, or else they would
respond the same way.

What version of fcgiwrap do you run on each server?

Can you show the output of "grep SCRIPT /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params"
on the servers? (One output is fine, if the two are identical.)

What is the output of "curl -i http://serverdomain.whatever/cgi-bin/",
especially on the failing server?

(That's basically "have you cleared your browser cache?", but is more
direct.)

Since a request for /cgi-bin/index.cgi succeeds, they almost certainly
are both correct; but the output of

ls -ldZ /
ls -ldZ /usr
ls -ldZ /usr/lib
ls -ldZ /usr/lib/cgi-bin
ls -lZ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/index.cgi

on each server should show that they are the same or not.

(Omit the Z if it shows errors.)

If you "diff conf1 conf2", do you see only and exactly the expected
changes from lines before this point?

Good luck with it,
