[PLUG] strange behavior of a file label on a flash memory USB stick

Recently I noticed something odd occurring with 2 file labels,
make_Home_categories.txt
make_home_categories.txt
which were 2 separate files, in my ext4 linux file system in the same
partition area, /home/owner/.
However when I went to copy these 2 files to the flash drive, only 1
file was copied.
make_home_categories.txt
For some reason the flash drive would NOT allow these 2 file names to
coexist. I could copy either one, and
the copy took, but whenever I would attempt to do both, only 1 was
allowed to exist on the flash drive.
Is there any explanation for this odd behavior? Is some code character
set not set up right for the flash drive?
How could the drive (or OS) know that only the capital H or small letter
h was a trigger for copying 1 and only 1 file?
