It is very common, especially in Australia to package the game with the bonus steelbook and give it a random edition name. EBGames and JBHifi have been doing it for years. In fact I believe they have done it for almost every Ubisoft release. The last 3-4 far cry games had it, they have been doing it for years for AC.
All of our steelbook lists are missing edge case editions like these and a lot of accurate store information. I attempted to try to fix it last year but gave up after like 50-60 changes. It simply was too time consuming to dig up all that info.
It is also important to note that when the steelbook offered with the game is a bonus (i.e. you aren't charging extra for it), the stores are not required to acquire a license, even to print an entirely new design. There is that dark side to what we consider "official" steelbooks here. For the steels, we try to track them because at the end of the day it is a different design. However, these made up "semi-official" editions aren't really worth tracking explicitly. They appear on the website for a few weeks under that name and then disappear, which is why you are having a hard time finding info. If you really want to find a reference to it, you are going to have to revert JB's website to a snapshot version from 2009

Thank you for this information, really good to know! indeed the issue here seems to be the store's titles. Regarding this particular steelbook I think I found a quite reliable
source which mentioned it was released in Australia as the 'AC Brotherhood Saga Box steelbook' and was later expanded to selected European (incl. Amazon/GER ?) retailers as a PC exclusive, presumably under the name 'Ezio Trillogy'?
For anyone who wants an overview picture:
