It is just the different names that has you bothered - correct? Names are messy things. We pretend that everything has just one name but that isn't really true (reminds me of "The Traveller in Black" ... he had many names but one nature. But I digress). In the two different cases the 'name' of the array is found in different ways. Both are correct, they are just different. So unless there is some real confusion being caused, best just to move on and not let it worry you..
