Description
### What is this about?
1. base env
* Chrome 122.0.6261.57
* MetaMask 11.15.6
2. send invalid tx to [**xlayer** testnet](https://www.okx.com/xlayer/docs/getting-started/user-guide/network-information), the `eth_sendRawTransaction` response and error display:
```
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 7577166421925616,
"error": {
"code": -32000,
"message": "nonce too low"
}
}
```
3. send invalid tx to **sepolia** testnet, the `eth_sendRawTransaction` response and error display:
```
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 7577166421925488,
"error": {
"code": -32000,
"message": "nonce too low: next nonce 4, tx nonce 1"
}
}
```
4. Why is the information displayed different, `Internal JSON-RPC error.` and `nonce too low: next nonce 4, tx nonce 1`.
I think it should show "nonce too low" for `2 xlayer testnet`.

Research direction
Reproduce the invalid eth_sendRawTransaction cases on XLayer and Sepolia and compare how their JSON-RPC errors are handled. Trace the extension's error-display path from the RPC response; done means the XLayer case shows "nonce too low" instead of "Internal JSON-RPC error."
