They probably just decided to combine the two to simplify things, since the cups would be the same size, and dropped the separate magnum pistol number. It may or may not be a good move. You want the primer cup reasonably hard for a rifle, especially for military style floating firing pins, and IME, not all revolver firing pins are strong enough to work with those.
