What do the various abbreviations in the name of the samples in the new Drum Supply mean?

E.g. "Bd_dt_fickle.wav"? Obviously, "Bd" stands for bass drum, and "fickle" is just the name of this particular sample, but there are lots of "Bd_dt_..." drums. "Down-tempo" maybe? But then what's "dtr" or "ip"? Think it would help me find the right sample faster if I had some idea of what these abbreviations meant.
I'm starting to think it's stupid to do this kind of patch naming with the sound designer's name in the patch name. Being credited in the manual should be enough really. I don't see any hardware manufacturers adding people's initials to their patch names.

I know for a fact sample magic made the new loop/drum supply. As for the names, I could make a guess that some initials (if not sound designer initials) could be referring to hardware. They use a lot of hardware synths and modular setups to make a decent amount of their content

I've often wondered whether these are the full packs, or some kind of curation of the samples from the original packs. I have a couple of Sample Magic Packs but none of them seem to feature in the Loops Supply.
The naming convention looks just the same though - definitely a Sample Magic thing.
