I cant give you a definitive answer on this but I expect that it was
labelled such because everything on the "Jordanian side of the armistice
line" was only ever under Jordanian administration, never under Jordaian
political spvereignty. The territory of East Jerusalem and the West Bank
were not forally part of the Jordanian state. When Jordan requested to
annex these areas in 1951, only two countries recognized the claim -
Britain and Pakistan.
