Also, are they printing differently? Because as long as the spot color names are exactly the same your RIP should treat them them same anyway if you use color correction.

Yep, both 369 C
They are printing differently. We use Versaworks Dual with a Roland Truvis 540 for this client on 3M IJ350.
So spot color should be checked? I did convert them to CMYK in Illustrator as I thought that would help which didn't. We had spot color checked when we first got this printer/software setup but had a tech tell us to uncheck it...Can't remember why. Would having Spot color checked make it so no matter what version of Pantones color book is used, they would print the same?
PS. your working spaces color settings should be the following:
RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK: Coated GRACoL 2006
Same goes in your RIP/Production stuff
Actually, the sRGB working space is rather gamut-limiting nowadays because modern ink sets & media are capable of significantly more than sRGB in many areas of color. Also, the OP mentions "Adobe PMS" so why not, at least, use Adobe1998?
For CMYK, yes Coated GRACoL 2006 is a good option for shops that build their own files.
