Beef rib names

[John Leopard]

Long time no post for me so it’s good to still be here.
A local grocery store has what they are calling “tomahawk beef ribs.” I looked at them today and they were all 5 bone racks. They looked similar to short plate ribs but not identical. The short plate ribs I’m familiar with are 3 and 4 bone racks.
Can anyone tell me if there’s a difference.

Sounds like regular beef ribs, cut from the bottom of the ribeye which when the ribs are left on the ribeye, makes the ribeye a tomahawk.

The ribs are usually unequal in length.

Like these?
