xref model numbers + names in FAQ

It is not a mislabelling. The Duo was first released back in 2008. The RND2000 v2 labelling was applied well before development on the Duo v2 started. In fact I just did a search for you and found a post from back in Aug 2009 by a senior member of the ReadyNAS dev team: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=177891#p177891
So it basically tells NetGear quickly about what network hardware is in the Duo (v1) unit.
There's no major difference between any of the Sparc RND2000 boxes whatever the label.
The new Duo v2 (RND2000-200) is a major change, different CPU architecture, different firmware, different addons, different RAID format, cannot migrate disks across from Duo v1 to Duo v2.

The only difference is the network PHY, which was changed due to short supply of the original.
