Maybe the German publisher names have more order to them. The UK and US ones are chaos.

Changing names doesn't matter.
To stick with your example, Tom Doherty remains Tom Doherty and Tor remains Tor. These are the publishers under which it was published, the same for Imprints. A book that was published under publisher XY doesn't change just because the publisher was bought by AB decades later.
What's on the cover counts (more or less
) - at least for me
