There's no difference.

JAA is the Joint Aviation Authorities

JAR is the Joint Aviation Requirements

The first is the governing body - a sort of Europe-wide CAA; the second is the actual requirements that need to be satisfied to gain the license.

On the front of my license it says

"UK CAA, A full member of the Joint Aviation Authorities"

The license itself is a JAR-FCL PPL (A).
FCL is Flight Crew Licensing
A is Aeroplane (you probaly knew that)

Hopes this helps.
