There have been cases where Extras has used a different naming scheme
than the third parties - I'm not sure how many though.

The extras review process is open though, and I don't know that it was
ever done despite requests from the third parties against it. Nor do I
think Extras should be obligated to follow third party naming schemes,
not if doing so would violate the explicit extras naming scheme.
