I think that all the groups are really given to us as lower case, but someone had tried to mix-case things to make it more readable. Sadly, we have some groups containing spaces, which messes up various things, like sorting output from
ls -l looking for large files etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After more testing, it seems that our CentOS 6 install is ignoring the case of the group. I'm not sure if we have coded to ignore case or it just does. It might cause a problem for some though, I'm sure.
I hope that you are not wanting an expert opinion from me - I'm just muddling through
