Yes. GnuPG outputs:
[GNUPG:] GOODSIG 7536EAB5D3033C99 <moderator at dana.de>
but PGP 2.x used to output:
Good signature from user "de.admin.news.announce".
pub 1024R/D3033C99 1996-05-18 <moderator at dana.de>
sig D3033C99 1996-05-18 <moderator at dana.de>
uid de.admin.news.announce
sig 00F0D5E9 1996-05-21 [User ID non trovato]
sig 2246421D 1996-05-20 [User ID non trovato]
sig 39F37F5D 1996-05-18 [User ID non trovato]
sig D3033C99 1996-05-18 <moderator at dana.de>
As you can see, the key has an extra UID and PGP shows it instead of the
one in the key.
