I'm no expert on Urdu, but it seems suspicious to have the same
abbreviation for two different days.

That's what Windows returns for ur-PK, ur, and ur-IN. I don't know if
it's a mistake, but it's different from the rest of locales using Arabic
script. Same happens for days 5 and 6 for Hindi (hi-IN), days 1 and 2
for Armenian, days 1, 2, 6 for Indonesian id-ID, days 5 and 6 of Kannada
kn-IN. So it's not uncommon apparently, but a bit confusing. Probably
such names are supposed to be used all together, so context is clear.
