Is somebody getting some letters mixed up? Maybe even mild dyslexia?

An ORCA (R first, then C) is a toothed cetacean with distinctive black-and-white body markings.

OCRA (or more properly, OCR-A, but either way, C first, then R) is an optical character recognition font, with more angular letterforms than the more natural-looking OCR-B.

And just for the sake of completeness, OKRA, with a K, is a vegetable, commonly found in gumbo.
