It is been reported as "O365HomePermRetail -en-us *64":

installed 32 bit Office 365 to 32 bit OS > Reported as "O365HomePermRetail - en-us"

installed 64 bit Office 365 to 64 bit OS > Reported as "O365HomePermRetail - en-us *64"

installed 32 bit Office 365 to 64 bit OS > Reported as "O365HomePermRetail - en-us *64"
