Indus- a reference of VSTEP's other sim?

As most of us probably know, when you view the Vermaas from a great enough distance away for the ship design to simplify some (decrease poly count a bit), its name turns from "ADF Vermaas" to "ADF Indus"
Looking up "Indus" on shipspotting.com brough this picture up as the first result:
http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=730619&cid=46
It also says this is another picture of the same ship:
http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=557989&cid=46
These pictures show a ship that is identical to a ship another user reported seeing in another thread of a "mysterious ship" that turned out to be one of the ships from VSTEP's rescue sim.
It seems Vermaas's "distance name" is a reference to that ship from the company's other major simulator.
Your thoughts?

My thoughts; VSTEP changed the name from Indus to Vermaas as a tribute to one of the developers:
Already 2 topics on this:

Indeed, the originally intended name has been discussed a few times before. A forum search is never a bad idea.
I'll lock this one.
