There's a few UK institutions that call it a DPhil instead of PhD (including where I went), and I don't know why. Knowing Oxford, I wouldn't discount the possibility that someone was making a point about latin word order or being different for the sake of being different.

Interesting. My PhD certificate (UK) says Doctor of Philosophy yet my title is PhD

PhD means philosophy doctor.
