For shapefiles, GDAL will try to identify the SRS information from the .prj against one known SRS from the EPSG database. In case of a match, it will use the later definition, in particular to get the code of the SRS, which is practical in many uses. Is it a case of wrong identification ? If so, could you share the .prj file ?
