Ha! You're not wrong!
I hear Americans use goofy terms like "Highland Watch" and "Highlander Guards" all the time, conflating the various regiments.
The record companies (back when records and CDs were a thing) did much to add to the confusion by mixing up the photos they used for the album covers and the music contained on the albums. It's oddly entertaining, spotting these goofups, here are five.
(Just for fun can you list who appears in the photos?)
