If it is a British ton then it is actually 1016kg (long ton) but if it is an American/Canadian ton then it is 907kg (short ton) as you pointed out. So I'd have to guess it's referring to a metric tonAnd yes I know it should then be stated as 2 tonnes to reduce confusion, but then there are still people who don't realize that there is a difference.
Nope a metric "Ton" is a Tonne and not actually a Ton as a Ton is an imperial measurement.
I went for the american Ton conversion (at 907kg) as its blue point / snap on and i assume theyer an american company.
However neither a long Ton or a short Ton are a Tonne.
