Different LensType-tags

Hi,

I found out, that there are two tags named LensType:

$ exiftool -G -H -Lenstype 20061105-165457.jpeg 20070608-163808.jpeg ======== 20061105-165457.jpeg [MakerNotes] 0x0016 Lens Type : Tamron AF Aspherical 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 or + 28-75mm f/2.8 or 28-105mm f/2.8 ======== 20070608-163808.jpeg [MakerNotes] 0x0095 Lens Type : Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD (IF) 2 image files read

The string in the second image was placed there by myself using exiftool.
I don't like the ambiguously interpreted LensType in the first image, but trying to overwrite the string does not change anything:

$ exiftool -overwrite_original -LensType='Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD (IF)' 20061105-165457 +.jpeg 1 image files updated $ exiftool -G -H -LensType 20061105-165457.jpeg [MakerNotes] 0x0016 Lens Type : Tamron AF Aspherical 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 or + 28-75mm f/2.8 or 28-105mm f/2.8

How can I change the string in tag 0x0095 and disable the interpretation in tag 0x0016?
