Discrepancies in file names?

[JinDC]

I recently downloaded an update for Flash for my Mac from the Adobe website with the following file name:

AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_15au_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg

It seemed to install normally and I haven't had an issue with it. When I was updating Flash on my work computer (also a Mac), I download a file with an almost, but not quite identical, title:

AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_15_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg

Is this something that I should be worried about? Is one of them a trojan/malware? Is the disappearing "au" significant? Or is there a more straightforward, blindingly obvious answer to my question that I haven't thought of?

Hi jindc,

Those are valid file names.  The difference is one is downloaded as a result of a notification update and the other is from get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
