MS-DOS (FAT) vs MS-DOS FAT 32, can someone explain this

So far as I know and that has been confirmed on threads here, macOS formats to FAT32 as default. This still leaves me with question why the drive (pre-formated to FAT32) in disk utility under erase shows like this.

Anyone has any idea?

macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

MS-DOS (FAT) - This is Disk Utility's name for the FAT32 filesystem.
