Should Indo-Sasanian be named Kushano-Sasanian?

When I search for rulers listed in the Numista Indo-Sasanian section I seem to find them listed under Kushano-Sasanian. See examples on the following links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Sasanians

It seems to me that Kushano-Sasanian would be a better title for this section.
It appears that Indo-Sasanian and Kushano-Sasanian have been conflated in the catalogue. "Indo-Sasanian" refers to a long series of Indian coins spanning 800 years and struck by a variety of issuers, all ultimately derived from the silver drachms of the Sasanian king Peroz which were carried into northern India by Invading Huns in the 5th Century. The series begins with relatively recognizable Indian copies of Peroz drachms and ends with the common Gadhaiya Paisa coins in the 13th Century, silver issues declining to base billon. "Kushano-Sasanian" on the other hand refers to the coinage of the Kushan Shahs, a sub-kingdom of the Sasanian Empire created from lands seized by the Sasanians from the Kushan Empire. The Kushano-Sasanian coins include mostly gold and copper from about the 3rd through 5th centuries. Kushano-Sasanian coins should certainly be listed separately from Indo-Sasanian. Whether all the various Indo-Sasanian coins should be listed together or separately under the various polities which (theoretically) issued them is a separate question.
