The comment to your question is exactly right in that you're not going to get a more official set name than the official set name. I'd say it's not intentional that those sets have the same name, but that's hard to say for certain.
However, in order to differentiate between sets, even WotC will have to choose different set abbreviations internally, and looking through the Gatherer source code, specifically the set icon URL, you can find within the parameters that WotC has indeed chosen CM1
as the abbreviation.
In the interest of completeness, here's a table of all Commander-related sets to date, and their codes:
SET NAME ABBREVIATION GATHERER ABBREVIATION (if different)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commander CMD
Commander's Arsenal CMA CM1
Commander 2013 Edition C13
Commander 2014 C14
Commander 2015 C15
Commander 2016 C16
Commander Anthology CMA
In other words, CM1
seems to be used by WotC at least internally, and either way it seems less ambiguous to rely on that as the abbreviation for Commander's Arsenal than CMA
The Gamepedia MTG Wiki, which list CM1
as the official abbreviation, also link to that URL as proof.
My guess is that they have always used CM1 as the abbreviation for Commander's Arsenal, and that it's simply a mistake in the blog post you linked. With little relevance to MTG in general (containing only reprints, and being relatively rare), I can see why it never got addressed or changed again.
