SOP and SOIC Package

No, they are different. SOIC stands for small outline integrated circuit. later came SOP with 0.635 mm pin spacing, which is smaller as compared to SOIC . SOP has further sub-divisions as below:
Plastic small-outline package (PSOP)
Thin small-outline package (TSOP)
Thin-shrink small-outline package (TSSOP)

Check the datasheet for PCB footprints. Not all manufacturers have 100% standardized their packages.
