You looking at a Blue Book? They are not real clear on this.

A Remington Model 51 is a .32 or .380 hammerless pocket pistol on the Pedersen design as described above.

The Remington UMC listed separately in the Blue Book, 13,000 made in 1918 and some in 1919 is the WW I Remington contract for 1911 .45 ACP.
It is NOT a variant of the M51, it is an authorized copy of the Colt Government Model.
