The one in my plan is PTRAX and I must confess that I had just briefly looked at it.
Upon further inspection, you are right, things don't look as straight forward as it first seemed. I can't even understand Morningstar's AA for this fund (see image below). At least the AA for the other available bond fund is straight forward.
