Does it normally? I thought is just reported the device name(?)

Well spotted!
Partially - the identification is correct (sane treats both models
identically as they have the same USB ids)

If the label bothers you - after backing it up, edit
/lib/udev/60-libsane.rules:-
# Epson Perfection 2400 | Epson GT-9300UF | Epson Perfection 2400 PHOTO

and replace with
# Epson Perfection 2400 PHOTO


The problem seems to be that *both* epson and epson2 backends are being
called - I could make a couple of (guesses) suggestions on how to
disable one of the backends, but first try just specifying one of the
devices, if you haven't already eg.:-
$ scanimage -d epson2:libusb:001:005
and
$ scanimage -d epson:libusb:001:005

NOTE: you'll probably need to append a "-x n -y n --format=type >
path/filename"
