Gandalf Question

The runes used in The Hobbit on Thor's map are English runes and are simple to translate, but runes used in The Lord of the Rings ( such as the ones on Balin's Tombstone) are not of that same sort. It seems that the one's in The Lord of the Rings are Daeron's runes which were modified by the dwarves of Moria. Is there any reason to explain this difference???
