Considering that the latter URL is the official site for ISO 639 and the 
earlier one is not, I think the answer should be clear.

Oxford lists Panjabi as a variant spelling of Punjabi. The 
transliteration of the native designation is Pañjâbî (with macrons 
not circumflexes).

All four of the lists at the ISO 639-2/RA site show "Panjabi" with an A.
I would trust those every time over a secondary-source list, even one
prepared by Keld Simonsen.

Thanks for the explanation, but I was wondering about the official ISO 639 
spelling.

Hello,
It is like "Panama" where we have 'pa' strong sound of 'a' and "Sun"
where even though we have a sound of 'a' we still spell it with 'u'. So both
the spellings (Punjabi and Panjabi) are correct. As far as Punjabi / Panjabi
goes, in India it is spelled as Punjabi and in Pakistan it is spelled as
Panjabi.

Aditya Gokhale.

names of the "pa" language. 

 mentions:

pa Punjabi

while  says:

Panjabi pendjabi pan pa

Which spelling is the official ISO 639 one?
