Consider the following:
In Japan they use code names for characters they are developing for example, the bosses in Street Fighter 2 are code named boxer, bull, dictator. I would not be surprised that these placeholder names are actually their prototype names.
I believe on the tournament scene they're referred to as "claw, boxer, dictator" just to eliminate possible confusion from the names being switched since SF2.
Edit: actually, i've also seen "matador" if i'm not mistaken.
