Yes, they will. What likely happened here is gpg exported public key
(actually, your digital certificate along with the key material) in a
slightly different way than pgp, and radix-64 encoding of the underlying
binary data lead to a differently looking ascii armor. While OpenPGP
implementation is exporting data in OpenPGP-conforming manner, it's no
matter in what sequence it is writing the actual packets.
