SA-10 (S-300) TEL-C vs TEL-D misnaming

[Ymir]

After reading both the Wikipedia article and the DCS air defense reference guide for the S-300, I've figured out that the master TEL is identifiable by the large box behind the cab, whereas the slave TEL only has a spare tire in its place. In DCS this would mean that the TEL-D is the master TEL, but both articles state that the TEL-D is the slave TEL. Furthermore, the S-300 template in DCS has 2 TEL-Cs and 4 TEL-Ds. Do they have the wrong models or are they misnamed and the template has the wrong composition of launcher types?

I made a mistake with the default template, it's actually 4 TEL-Cs and 2 TEL-Ds. So if they are misnamed then the model is wrong but the template composition is right. If they aren't misnamed then the model is right but the template composition is wrong (should be more master TELs than slave TELs).

After testing it out, I've concluded that there is no operational difference between TEL C and D modelled in DCS. I did, however, notice that the labels in game are correct for the model shown, while the unit names displayed in the mission editor and after-action report are incorrect for the model shown.
