The key is most probably the same one in both cases, it's just a 
question of how the key is referenced. In PGP the traditional way to 
refer to keys has been to use the last 32 bits of the fingerprint, i.e. 
8 hexadecimal characters. The other format lately gaining popularity is 
to use the last 64 bits of the fingerprint, so 16 hexadecimal characters.

You might want to check your gpg.conf, whether it has a setting named 
"keyid-format" in there. If it's "short", then 32 bit key ids are used, 
if "long" 64 bit key ids are used. Try switching the setting to the 
other if the one already there isn't working. If there's no keyid-format 
setting, try each variant.

This should be the key used, compare the last hexadecimal digits of the 
fingerprint.
