FWIW, you are now able to pinpoint "shortened" 
downloaded versions because of 2.95dev commit: 

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/348bbea

prior to that commit (and in GiP 2.94), 
those would just show up as "default" in 
the file-prefix.

 The fact you end up with a "shortened" version 
probably means no version with longer duration 
still exists, because GiP tries by default to first fetch 
the longer one - you'd have to provide speficic 
pids for further investigation...

 More often than not, both "original" & "shortened" 
versions do exist at the same time, e.g. 
in the following episode of "More or Less -  
Selfies, Sugar Daddies and Dodgy Surveys", 
pid=b06zvbwz, if you query: 

get_iplayer --type=radio --pid=b06zvbwz -i | grep versions 

=> (with 2.95dev) versions:       original,shortened

If for some reason you are after the "shortened" one, 
indicate so via "--versions=shortened" in your command...
