On the IMCDB site, the Jagdtiger (German WW2 tank) is listed under three separate manufacturers.
There are three entries for Nibelungenwerk - Panzerjäger Tiger https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Nibelungenwerk_model-Panzerj%C3%A4ger.html
Two for Steyr - Jg.Pz.VI 'Jagdtiger' https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Steyr_model-Jg.html
and one for Henschel - Jg.Pz.VI 'Jagdtiger' https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Henschel_model-Jg.html
The Jagdtiger was designed by Henschel, but all of them were built at Nibelungenwerk, a tank factory. The reason Steyr is involved is because the armored bodies for the tanks were built at Eisenwerke Oberdonau, which someone conflated with Steyr. Those bodies were shipped to Nibelungenwerk for assembly.
I recommend that they all be grouped under Henschel, and the name be simply "Jagdtiger", with "Sd.Kfz.186" as the extra info. "Panzerjäger Tiger" is correct, but almost everyone knows it by the name Jagdtiger, which is also correct.
