You have a problem here. These are Caslon faces by the some
foundry with abbrreviation BE (presumably you know who that is
given that you have the fonts. You can't assume that they are the
same as the printer resident Adobe Calson. Not even in metrics.
So you need to make up new names. You know what I would do :-)
I would use the names QXB, QXI, QXM, QXRG, ....
Looking on just the Adobe TOC 4.1 CD, I found some of the following:

And there are more. Suddenly the crazy idea of using those short names
