After using Adobe DNG Converter on a Nikon NEF raw image file, ExifTool reports the converted DNG file contains a new metadata field: "Unique Camera Model". This is in addition to the standard "Camera Model Name" field. Both of these fields are set to the same manufacturer identifier, e.g. "Nikon D5200".

When launched by Photoshop, Adobe Camera RAW appears to use the DNG file's "Unique Camera Model" field to identify the camera. Does ExifTool have an option to alter a DNG file's "Unique Camera Model" field, similar to how the -model option sets the "Camera Model Name" field?

This should work:

exiftool -uniquecameramodel="XXX" FILE

I think that you only problem may be in determining the tag name.  This is explained in FAQ 2.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
