They usually show brand, such as SIE (Sierra) or HDY (Hornady) or NOS (Nosler).

Besides which, brand doesn't matter if you're using a bullet of the same weight and similar construction, such as traditional copper jacket, lead-core bullets. There's only so many ways to make a .308 caliber lead-core, copper jacket bullet that weighs 150gr, for example. They're close enough to interchange data, so long as you start low and work up, like always.
