VLC's strange identification of codec information

[tux]

When we look for codec information of a .mp3 file, the codec name is shown as 'MPEG Audio layer 1/2'. When I referred to https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_Features_Formats/, there seems to be a clear distinction between 'MPEG Audio layer 1/2' and an actual 'MP3'. So why does VLC identifies an MP3 file as an MP2 file instead of 'MPEG Audio layer 3' ?

I seen this behaviour in Windows, Android and Linux versions. Possibly it is same in all other versions.

Yes, I can reproduce the issue with any MP3 file.
