Well you assumed wrong! That's my fault, I just completely read over the part about the documentation on the site.
Ok, so having read that, this seems like an oversight of that method. I have a Canon XSi (450D). The long name from the metadata is Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi. It has no numberic characters in the name, thus it doesn't have a "short name". That's where my confusion is coming from.
