Why are Goudy postscript and Goudy Oldstyle Open Type fonts so drastically different?

The company I work for would like to switch from Goudy Postscript to Open Type in our current documents in order to work cross-platform with Mac users. unfortunately, I have noticed that the Goudy Postscript version is slightly larger than Goudy Old Style Open Type although the point size says it is the same.

Is there a Goudy Open Type font that matches Goudy postscript exactly?
