Seatools reporting bogus serial and model info

Seatools reporting bogus serial and model info
Bought two of these 4TB drives, ran Seatools tests against them both,one of them failed the Long Generic, then moved them to a different machine and now they both pass and I didn't stop to mark to "bad" drive so a bit confused. I am a long time Seagate user but growing concerned with quality issues (bought a 2TB here several months ago that was DOA), slowly moving to Western Digital. Also I noticed that the Serial and Model reported by Seatools is COMPLETELY different than what is printed on the drive label! See the attachment, the first USB drive shown, BOTH drives show the same exact info! WTH ?
Thank you for your feedback
