Not certain that Su Tung-p'o and Su Tung-po are the same, but I'm assuming because of the general garble factor in transliteration before widespread acceptance/usage of Pinyin in the West. I could believe that a publisher might decide that the apostrophe was clutter or a translator might not bother with it due to thinking English speaking readers wouldn't notice the difference.
