Correct caliber verbage

I recently posted about a Hepburn I was going to re barrel back to one of the original calibers of "32-40 Remington Hepburn". How would you do the verbage? I know the 32-40 BM is stated as such but how would you do the "Remington Hepburn" designation? I know where to stamp the barrel just don't know about the correct suffix.

My Original Hepburn Match B is a 32/40 Remington Hepburn and it is marked 

32.40

There is really no mistaking the two chambers if you lower the block as the Remington rim is larger and the groove diameter is smaller, mine being .309”. I can see how you would want the cartridge stamping to be definitive however.

If it was me, I would add a Rem after the 32/40, Hepburn being redundant in my opinion.
