It's probably because of \latinfamily. If the font is named like that then
\latinfamily will see it and produce a T1/pgj/m/sc from it, whereas if you
name the font pgjrcj8a then \latinfamily won't see it and will instead fake
T1/pgj/m/sc by shrinking the capitals in pgjr8a.

The method of making a "fake" expert font from an Sc&OsF raw font has been
treated a couple of times on this list---it could be an alternative---but
it is IMHO better to use \installfont since then at least you know which
fonts are being used.
