The device with PCI ID 0x4312 is called BCM4311 (dual-band) - check
Broadcom's official brochure on BCM4311 (has a single-band and a
dual-band version). Same for 0x4319 - it's actually BCM4318 dual-band
(for example, the BCM94318MPAGH has this ID). The only BCM4312 is
0x4315 (also, there exists no "BCM4315", and while BCM4310 might
indeed be real, it has nothing to do with PCI ID 0x4315). Apparently
the correlation between PCI ID and chip ID only exists for pure G-PHY
cards.
