The one from the cover is not from when T'Challa was King of Wakanda.

The only actual differences in the costumes are the bracalets and the "belt" (which can be considered part of the artistic license). The only difference between necklaces are the colors, the design can vary between artist (it does in the cover and in the inside of the cover's comic). The cape is still part of Black Panther's costume, albeit it's more formal, similar to current Thor's sleeves, whether he has it or he doesn't, the costume is still the same.
