Would you be the second owner? In which case I would suspect DVLA cock up when first registering the vehicle, not unheard of.
I have exactly this issue on a car. It wasn’t until I had bought the car and received the V5 that I realised that although the make and model was correct the variant was wrong. This has been going on since January. DVLA refused to issue the correct V5 without a letter from the manufacturer agreeing that the V5 was wrong. This was like drawing teeth with pliers but eventually arrived. Four weeks later and nothing from the DVLA, pleased I sent it recorded delivery! No big deal as it won’t matter until I sell the car but it’s long drawn out hassle
Re the OP’s question, I suggest someone has cocked up, nothing sinister, but as long as the dealer is reputable it will be sorted
