[AMBER] Atomtype for negatively charged O, part 2

Dear all,

To follow up on my problem a bit and perhaps add a bug, I have looked at Tyrosine as an example and something puzzles me a bit.
In the "parm/parm10.dat" (I am using Amber11 just FYI). There are sections with parameters for Tyrosine as shown here below. Some are said not be in use anymore and some are said to replace these old parameters.
What puzzles me is that it seems that the CZ (atomname) has been changed in atomtype from C to CA.
However, when I look in "lib/amino10.lib" and "prep/amino10.in" the atomtype is still C and not CA.

Is this a bug/error or is this changed somewhere else?
Is this the same for ff12 in Amber12?

Best regards,
Jesper
