Conventional Gel/Color Data in MVR

Hey there, I'm working on building something that can pull fixture information from a MVR and so far it's coming together pretty well.

One hiccup that is driving me crazy is while it works well for intelligent lights, I cannot figure out if there is a way to get the gel name from VW into the MVR. It seems like the color field is automatically changed into RGB values, which makes sense for automated lights, but for gel that's just not very useful when trying to get a cut sheet or order list.

Does anyone know if MVR is incapable of sending this data (as simple as R119, L201, etc.) or if there's some way to get the color field embedded in a simple conventional light?
