Is there a name for the thing where people are off by 2 hours when converting between 24 and 12 hour clocks? Like seeing 1504 and thinking 5:04pm? (Presumably because of the 5?)

This seems like the kind of thing that some psychologist/mathematician academics might've come up with a fun name for, but I can't find one.

(Question bought to you from a busy and chaotic St Pancras where people are waiting for the delayed 1504 and the on-time 1704 and lots of people on the wrong platforms...)
