Why so? It is the fifth design or "mark" of kukri carried by the British (and other) Gurkha armed forces. It seem a perfectly valid term to me, and indeed, every other reasonable kukri collector/enthusiast.

Speaking of "incorrect terms" you may wish to look up the history of the War Department, which has not been in existence since 1857...
I think you may be confusing it with the War Office.
All the very best,

I think we have disrupted this thread quite enough. If you have any further questions, or seek further discussion, I will happily converse with you via PM.
