To be honest, I'm not sure how to answer this question, because I have not encountered this situation. My understanding is that since its mentioned in BRACKETS, it should not be a problem, reason being that every company has its own designation titles for different employees, what's important is that the job duties should match. For example, for my EE profile, one work experience that I mentioned has job title of "Engineer" only, and job duties match the NOC for Electrical Engineer. So I just put the appropriate NOC and mentioned the job title only as Engineer. So, as long as job duties match and the job title broadly matches the NOC, it shouldn't be a problem. For your case, like you've mentioned that the description letter mentions the original title and the corresponding NOC related title in brackets, it should be fine, again because every company has its own employee designation structure which doesn't necessarily have to match exactly with CIC NOC list.
Again, don't take my word on this and wait for input from some other applicants who have faced similar situation.
Thanks for the input. The job duties on the letter are same as the one that corresponds to actual NOC. These are the requrements from CIC:

II
Important: when submitting your tax information, be sure to black out your Social Insurance Number (SIN) to protect this personal information.
Employer reference letters must be:
• written on company letterhead,
• signed by the responsible officer/supervisor,
• have the printed name and title of the responsible officer/supervisor beneath the signature,
• show the company's full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses,
• Stamped with the company's official seal (if applicable).
Reference letters must include all of the following information:
• .the specific period of your employment with the company,
• the positions you have held during the period of employment and the time spent in each position,
• your main responsibilities and duties in each position,
• the corresponding National Occupational Classjfjcatjon (NOC) code (if known),
• your total annual salary plus benefits
• the number of hours worked per week.
From this information, what I get it job offer letter is not mandatory(it is optional and could be used as a supporting doc) only the job letter that contains duties and other things such as type of position, number of hours, benefits etc its most important. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks
