Looks like you're using your Apple ID across your iOS and macOS devices. When I do the same all I ever see is the last 5 digits of the serial number depending which device I'm viewing my other devices on.


In the picture you've shown you can see you've a very poor Wi-Fi signal. Move as close as you can to your Wi-Fi access point and refresh the screen. Perhaps you'll now see the same?


I'm not sure of how the information gets there in the first place? I think its related to your Apple ID and possibly ties in with purchases you've made from Apple? Hopefully someone may post who knows more than I do about these things?


Good luck!
