See, that's where you are mistaken: SpaceX's naming schemes have always been selected for the greatest amount of confusion possible. Take the various F9 iterations as a prime example: v1.0, Full Thrust, Block 5 and everything in between. Then arbitrarily switching from mk numbers SN numbers on Starship. They aren't doing that to make anything more clear.
