Note that the Venom is named SDR-9K not VNM-something, it is also stated on sarna that it is a Spider with few modifications.
Meaningless. That simply says (as is obvious) that it is derived from the Spider.
Here is a good example: The PHOENIX HAWK

Says specifically it is based on a strengthened Stinger Chassis. So by your reasoning, the Phoenix Hawk is really just another Stinger, albeit 25 tons heavier? Or because one is called STG- and the other PHX, that distinguishes them?
the Venom even uses a different Internal Structure chassis, the SPider uses a Newhart 1200, the Venom, a Newhart refit of the Crucis II. Different engine. Gyro. Etc.
The Venom descended from the Spider, but in no way shape or form IS a Spider.
