This is only an educated guess but the base diameter of the cartridge/shell is 11.9 mm/.490, so they opted to call it in addition to a .410 a 12mm which is close to a 36 gauge (but should have at least called it a 40 gauge), ignoring that the bore size was actually 67 gauge. I guess 36 gauge sounded sexier than a 67 gauge and would result in more sales.

I thought the 410 was considered more as a caliber than a gauge.

For the 105 years they've been manufactured here in North America, our manufacturers have certainly played fast and loose with the terminology. They call it .410 gauge as often as they call it .410 bore. Remington ad circa 1930 --
.410 Gauge Ad circa 1930.jpeg In the early years the most often included 12 m/m and 36 gauge on their packaging -- 2-inch .410-bore.jpg FIELD .410-bore 2 1-8 inch.jpg FIELD .410 12mm 36ga.jpg Here at least Winchester just used .410 and (12 m/m) -- .410 (12 mm) Paper Shot Shells.jpg But here they used 410 GA -- 410 GA.

Yup, it's not a 410 bore (though 410 bore is closer) and it's not a 410 gauge either - technically, it's a .410 caliber shotshell/shotgun. .

You could shoot em in a 28ga if you wanted. Might not be good for anything afterwards.
