PBX = "Perdew-Becke-Ernzerhof gradient correction to exchange"
PBC = "Perdew-Becke-Ernzerhof gradient correction to correlation"

there used to be some inconsistency in the name of the PBE gradient
corrected functional. Now all codes (atomic, converters, pwscf) use
the same logic (or lack of it).

yes, you can
