UpdateDeleteWhere is a special case for the following:

DELETE WHERE {
  # Some patterns
}

I.e. a DELETE where the template is also treated as the WHERE clause

http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-update/#deleteWhere

This is more limited than a general DELETE/INSERT operation because you
can only have quad patterns I.e. can't use FILTERs, BINDs, sub-queries etc
that you could use in the WHERE clause of the longer form

Your update is the full form (separate template and WHERE clause) so is an
UpdateModify
