I spent some time with google and I've found that this encoding
confirms ISO-646 7bit standard and its "official" name is: ISO-646-YU
Later is was also called YUSCII, CROSCII and SLOSCII but these are
not official names.
It's probably the last ISO-646-?? encoding still used in real life
anyhow it's possible that someone will want to add to Harbour some
others ISO-646 CPs due to compatibility with some old hardware so
I would like to keep full official name for internal Unicode table
with references to other *SCII names.
Then I suggest to use HR646 and SL646 as Harbour CP names.

I hope that such proposition is reasonable. What's your opinion?

I'll be thankful if you can answer yet about adding HR646C or
updating HR646 (current HR437) to use strictly Clipper compatible
collation order. What do you prefer?
Or maybe current order is wrong?
I've just checked that in xHarbour HR* CPs use the same character
order as in Clipper but SL* CPs not and are Harbour compatible.
What is the correct sort order? Is it different for Croatia and
Slovenia?
