the ticket is different because there’s no set fine for the offence that the OPP officer charged you with. it’s a summons, which means you have no option but to appear in court.

now…

a) were you born in March?

b) is the car registered in your name?

if the answer to both those questions is yes,

call the MTO right now and ask them why you were issued a sticker for December rather than March

or better yet, go to the same ISSUING OFFICE that you got your sticker from originally and ask them wtf happened

get a letter… something IN WRITING where they explain or admit their mistake. then bring the letter with you to court.

do not give up until you get an answer AND something in writing.

(*** this assumes that you were actually issued a Dec sticker and not that you mixed it up yourself with someone else’s sticker. in which case it would be entirely your fault)

100% correct, if the car is in your name the sticker should be your birth month no matter what, so the MTO messed up.
In my experience with 6 different cars and different times of the year the MTO has never given me a sticker for any month other than my birth month (which happens to be March). Even when i got a new car in November they gave me the option to get a sticker for March 2010 or a sticker for March 2009 at a discounted rate.
