Read the material in Panofsky which precedes the section you are quoting
(at least in my [first] edition copy). He deduces the pressure effect
from energy considerations which depend on polarization. His conclusions
are nicely summarized in terms of the Maxwell stress tensor. Bottom line:
the two effects which you distinguish (pressure increments vs charge
interactions) are the same. Panofsky stresses, more than once, that it
all reduces to Coulomb's law.
