7.92 or 8x57 or 8mm

Hi all,
a small query
my variation is for a 7.92 calibre (I already have a K98 7.92) And just the other day bought a 7.92 Persian mauser.
when it arrived at my local RFD (Who doesnt deal with rifles in anyway except getting them sent to him) the paperwork inside the box said 8x57 of which he rightly queried, but I made him aware it was also known as 7.92 or 8.mm.
Had a call from the FEO this morning querying the 8x57, I tried to explain but he would look into it.
I know when I buy the rounds the privi stuff is marked 8mm, I told him this as well
Anyone have a definitive answer from a reliable book that could be posted on the site should there be any problems?.
regards
Douglas
