Here's a later one showing the 7 shot version, but no "name" is shown...

I think it is interesting that the first image has Mag Comp in bold in the picture section, but the actual text box refers to it as a Carry Comp in multiple sections of text.
Weird!
Also, from this thread from this forum back in 2015, I see that mine has the same production code [170074] as the Lew Horton series, as per the letter shown from Lew Horton:
686-4 3 inch Lew Horton
Mine is a 7-shot. Honestly, I wouldn't have bought it if it were 6 shot.
I already have a few DA/SA 6-shot .357s already, and can't really carry due to my profession and living where I do [california]. One of those .357s is a 2013 S&W 586 that is just as slick as can be. It is sooooo nice!
I
would like a 6" 686 Plus, but I picked up this one as I just knew it was more than met the eye.
The LGS just had it listed as a 3" 686 Plus. They had no other markings on it to indicate anything special. It was part of a group of guns they are processing for an estate sale.
