Adding a string into the User Agent for Android 6+

Following Enterprise Browser 1.8 - Config.xml UserAgent for Android 6+ running on a new TC75x, I used this user agent as a starting point:
KitKat and higher

I am adding the word Scanner into the user agent to allow the server to vary the pages, since our application runs across scanners, other mobile devices and desktops.

This is the user agent string I set in Config.xml

The user agent received by the server is:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; TC75x Build/01-16-06.2-MG-00; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/66.0.3359.126 Mobile Safari/537.36 MAC=REDACTED ESN=REDACTED Scanner MAC=REDACTED ESN=REDACTED Scanner"

This didn't happen on the Windows devices.

What is the proper way to add text into the user agent string?

I've had a customer report this problem too.

I believe the ESN stuff was duplicated in the user agent sent, once for every time there was a call to navigator.userAgent in the js.
Reading it user agent seemed to cause eb to re-append the data.
