It’s not that uncommon because they have specific lengths, so usually just by the length you can know the checksum. Of course it’s not perfect, but for file verification it’s usually MD5, SHA1, or SHA256, so the length is enough to differentiate between them.

But yeah, dick move.
It’s the first time I’ve seen it. Are we supposed to memorize the specific length of each hashing function now?
I’d just run the cli commands to check it
md5 filename sha256 filename
Etc.
As the other user said it should be one of the main ones
