What does hardware model iPad 3,3 mean?

My iPad is a 3rd generation GSM model. But the diagnostic data sent by my iPad to the apple server(it's a built in feature) states that my hardware model

Is iPad 3,3. So far I know for CDMA model they use 3,3 but for GSM it should be 3,2.

Am I wrong?

Can I use GSM SIM to CDMA model?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 5.1, Unlocked

Thanks.

Yesterday I updated to iOS 5.1.1 from 5.1 using *.ipsw for CDMA model(using the SHIFT+Update method).

Although they told me when selling that my model is a GSM one,but actually it's a CDMA model which I didn't know until I saw the hardware model iPad 3,3 in the diagnostic data sent by my device to apple server.Because my GSM SIM still works...It was hard for me to believe that it's a CDMA device. So I came to the conclusion that CDMA model also supports GSM SIM.
