Any 6285 distributed by LEGO Australia would be correctly called a 'Dark
Shark'. It would therefore be the original name *in Australia*.
Private imports may well be BSBs, and the rerelease is definitely a BSB.
But of course, all names of the 6285 are technically incorrect anyway ;-)

I was shifting the topic from which name is 'correct' to incorrect names of
sets - following on from your assertion that the SFSC is 'incorrectly'
named. (Which was only a parenthetical aside, but worthy of comment
nevertheless).

Black Sea Brig... Black Sea's Brig....Dark Brig ... Dark and Light Brig...
Santa Fe Super Brig, perhaps?
