The pair that is not correctly matched is:

Ghana: Dutch Guiana.

Ghana is a country located in West Africa, formerly known as the Gold Coast. Dutch Guiana, on the other hand, refers to the former Dutch colony in South America, which is present-day Suriname.

The correct old name for Ghana is not Dutch Guiana but the Gold Coast.

Therefore, the correct answer is Ghana: Dutch Guiana.
