Exactly correct. Early on, PSA just did T206, then added the backs. Then they did the Series (150/350/460). Even later, they added the Factory information.
Early flip (before half grades when Fair was broken apart), just T206:

Someone would have to pay for reholdering to have all the true flip information added, which doesn't really make much sense unless you're trying for a Master set registry or when you're planning to sell. There are many rare backs that are still only labeled "T206". And PSA still doesn't break out T205 backs, so those are completely blind when it comes to manufacturer.
