Fascinating subject this is:-)
I would be interested to learn which name the MLA (Militaire Luchtvaart Autoriteit / Military Airworthiness Authority) has used to certify the aircraft & operation. In my view, that would be the only 'official' name.. But, of course, any operator can use whichever name they deem fit.
A330MRTT or KC-30

Re: A330MRTT or KC-30
In this Parliamentary Paper, an official letter from the Minister of Defense from 2016, the A330MRTT is also mentioned.

And in MLA's 2021 annual report, the designation KC-30 0x appears, but A330 appears several times:

But hey, just call it KC-30 if you want to identify yourself as Aussie. It’s 2022, everything is possible. #woke

Welke officiële documenten bedoel je dan eigenlijk. Ik kan eigenlijk helemaal niks officieels vinden (van de Klu)Alpha Kilo One wrote: ↑05 Sep 2022, 22:49 Ga maar eens zoeken in officiële documenten dan.
Officieel bestaat de KC-30M helemaal niet.

KC-30M or A330MRTT or Tankvliegtuig, just call it whatever you want. I stick with KC-30M
