In related Contacts list it shows account field instead of contact fields

I am seeing some discrepancies with related list page layout deployment. The columns are shown in Contact related list on custom object page layout changes when deployed to the instance.
Columns in the Contact-related list are: Name, Account Name, Description(custom field on Contact).

The metadata file also shows these columns but when this layout gets deployed to the environment the Description (custom field on Contact) is changed to Account:Description (custom field on Account). After deployment when I retrieve meta.xml file for page layout from the instance, it didn't show any "Description" field in that.

Meta.xml file retrieved after deploymentUser-added image

Hi Shivani,

Have you cross checked the layout Name?
