Well...no...its not like calling a ak-47 a Garand-Kalashnikov because no one has ever used that term...but if you research "mannlicher-carcano" you get a crap load of information on the 6.5x52mmR...and even Parravicino would be concidered wrong by your logic because the official title in Italian is Modello 1891 or even M91.
