Mr. Delex, You should be aware of the fact that the script codes are governed by the ISO standard 15924 that is produced by the ISO Technical Committee 46. In the registry for that standard the alpha code Beng and the numeric code 375 constitute the script code for Bengali. It is only natural (I'd say mandatory) that the Unicode CLDR documentation refers to international standards where they exist rather than invent something new and contradictory.
Sincerely, Erkki I.

Is not that an Unicode publication ?? Here I like to object naming a script as “Bengali” (=coded Beng) and informing the world that this script is used for the Assamese language. If you say it is done just for the sake of naming a set of characters to put them in a block, then I may be informed why the name “ Bengali” is chosen and not “Assamese”.
