"Officially, it became known as the Char leger Renault FT modele 1917, which has sometimes led to the unofficial abbreviation 'FT-17'."

there are tons of unofficial names,abbreviations etc the get attached to various military equipment. for example the F-16 is referred to as the Viper. although an unofficial name, i can assure you it does exist.
