There are several issues and a misconception here.
Misconception: The Nomenclature Committee (NomCom) does not change the
names of meteorites once they are accepted, except in extraordinary
circumstances (e.g., the Gao/Guenie nomenclatural nightmare). To do so
would cause endless confusion.
I think it happens more then we would really want to know.
And I think, it happens much less, than mistrustful collectors may suppose.

Algeria, Niger, and Libya were all possible collection
areas, and these are not in the NWA area, which is defined
as Morocco and adjacent parts of the surrounding

If this is the case, how do recent Lunars like NWA 2996, 4483
Parts of Algeria are included in the definition of NWA.
