Collectors, military rank & file, the public, and 'writers' have routinely deviated from Official Nomenclature, when communicating about, discussing, or classifying arms.

Here is a learned observation from "back in the day", regarding the "name" of one of our favorites.

IIRC - I guess, I have not seen U.S. Ordnance manuals refer to the "U.S. Magazine Rifle" as a Krag or Krag-Jorgensen.

However, a lot of contemporary accounts, ballads, and references sure identified it that way.
