IFR Calls

I've looked everywhere in the AIP and I can't seem to find a reference to what I am looking for. The call in regard to a IFR clearance call to ACD, referring to the IFG by the aviation theory centre.

Now in the examples it goes like this;

Departing Class C.... 'Callsign request clearance'

Departing Class C SID.... 'Callsign to destination request clearance'

Departing Class D.... 'Callsign IFR for destination request clearance'

Is there any reason for a slightly different call?

Also if anyone from ATC is out there could you please explain why it is not a requirement to say the name of the SID on departure when in other countries it is? (yeah I know it states not to in the AIP but why). I have noticed a large amount of traffic going out of brissy that also give the SID on departure call.
