I have no particular knowledge on the Airbus specifics but businesses often contract under a name of the legal entity which is quite different to the name used for business organisation or marketing. The latter names can change quite often but businesses hate the costs and complications of changing the name of the legal entity.
Edit. Is it possible that due to the OCCAR contract, EASA regard the A400M as a State Aircraft which isn't subject to Annex 13? Just a thought...
