I don't think they did: the confidentiality period is now 45 days only by default, see http://acbcert.com/documents/misc-docs/Memo-Short-Term-Vs-St...

Certification took place at Track (now Element UK) on 2015-11-23, given the external picture dates, or 95 days ago, so it looks like it has been extended once.

They didn't request short-term confidentiality for anything: the exhibit summary list at https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm... has a column for short-term confidential which is all No.

Also, the confidentiality letter would specifically request short-term if they wanted it.

You are right, but today it is very difficult to get an extension to the 45 days period, unless you can provide a release date, as it has been abused so much in the past.
