Narrative:

PAPI not depicted on buf ILS 23 chart caused me to double/triple check that we were landing on the correct runway. I did not expect to see a PAPI on final. It is always welcomed; I just didn't expect to see it. This could lead others to have the same confusion on short final. Contact jeppesen and have them fix their chart.
