It works! I'm the first surprised here. I defined the following
functions to manipulate the filenames. I suspect my code is clumsy and
error prone but it works in the cases tested so far.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun remove-org-suffix (name)
  "Remove the .org from a file name"
  (if (string-match "\\(.*\\)\\.org" name)
      (substring name (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))
    name))

(defun jc-org-publish-rename-pdf (suffix)
    "Rename file.pdf to file-beamer.pdf when buffer is visiting file.org"
  (let*   ((file-base-name (remove-org-suffix (buffer-file-name)))
  (file-pdf-name (concat file-base-name ".pdf"))
  (file-beamer-pdf-name (concat file-base-name "-" suffix  ".pdf")))
  (if (file-exists-p file-pdf-name)
      (rename-file file-pdf-name file-beamer-pdf-name 1))
    )
  )

(defun jc-org-publish-rename-notes-pdf ()
  "Rename file.pdf to file-notes.pdf when buffer is visiting file.org"
  (jc-org-publish-rename-pdf '"notes"))

(defun jc-org-publish-rename-beamer-pdf ()
  "Rename file.pdf to file-beamer.pdf when buffer is visiting file.org"
  (jc-org-publish-rename-pdf '"beamer"))

Then this block in the beginning of a "master" .org file takes care of :
* calling the beamer export with different class/ class options
  according to the project (beamer/notes) chosen
* renaming the pdf file according to the project (-beamer.pdf or
-notes.pdf)
* you can also use the "cours" project which publish both subprojects

Thanks for guiding me.
