My understanding is that there is a lens code rather than a description. This way they can put new codes in new lenses. It is up to the firmware of the camera or the raw converter to translate the code into a descriptive name of the lens. So when Sigma, Tokina and Tamron pick a code, they have to pick one that already exists so the camera firmware will recognize something. The real problem comes when there is not a fairly equivalent lens from Pentax.
