I just received a prescription of Bupropion XL, and it looks totally different that what I've received for the same medication and strength in the past (I use Aetna RX by mail). In the past it has been a capsule, and now it is a tablet with the same lettering you describe WPI 3332. Very unusual for there to be such a dramatic change and nothing by way of explanation. I called pharmacy and was told that the pharmacy had started using a different manufacturer for the generic and that more than one manufacturer often manufactures a generic drug once the patent runs out. WATSON LAB is the manufacturer of Bupropion WP! 3332. I think it's always good to question this sort of thing, considering that one reads of the not uncommon occurrences of pharmacies dispensing the wrong drug.

This is a Bupropion 300mgs tablet, generic for Wellbutrin XL. It is even manufactured by Watson, they have just switched from a capsule to a tablet.
