Penguin Press/Viking - Error?

[Tore Rye Andersen]

I just noticed something rather strange on the copyright page of AtD: The 
dustjacket, title page etc. of AtD of course state that the novel is 
published by Penguin Press, but on the copyright page it says - more than 
once - that the novel is published by Viking/Viking Penguin. Penguin Press 
isn't mentioned at all on the copyright page.

Initially I thought that Penguin Press might be a division of Viking, which 
is in itself a division of the Penguin Group, but upon checking other titles 
by Penguin Press (e.g. Zadie Smith's On Beauty and Zafon's The Shadow of the 
Wind) in Amazon's book search feature, I found that they all say Penguin 
Press instead of Viking on the copyright page, as could be expected,

There might be some strange dealings going on in the Penguin Group, but I 
suspect that the substitution of Penguin Press with Viking in AtD may simply 
be an error on the one page that is not supposed to have any errors. They 
may have used an old copyright page from a Viking book as their templet, and 
forgotten to replace Viking with Penguin Press.

Does anyone have any insider information that could explain this?
