You could always call them on it and see which one they start
selling at the lower price. Or higher. I always point out
mismarked meat cuts.

Costco used to label their hanger/flap as skirt - back in 1998.
Then I tried actual skirt and it was much trickier to cook. Hanger
steak/bottom sirloin flap beats the shit out of both skirt and
flank.
