That must be a common misnomer, since these are, evidently, purchased from Germany. It may be because of the SA stamp, which represents a Finn captured item on things like my SVT-40. This pistols was for sale as a 'Finn capture' as are others I see listed for sale. It is simply ignorance on the subject, as I had until I got some better info on these forums.
