Both I believe are Military alphabets, the first is the older version used
until sometime into the 50's or 60's.  When I was in the AF the second went

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Gulf, Hotel, India, Juliet,
Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Poppa, Quebec, Romeo, Serra, Tango
Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.

Quebec is pronounced like kay-bek.

Zulu replaced Zebra, (remember the movie Ice station ZEBRA) and I believe
India and Oscar replaced Ocean and Ida.
