ES6 is the same as ES2015
It's pretty hard to keep up with all these terms. ECMA262, TS39, ES6, ES15, ES2015, PEN15, ANDRÉ3000, they're all the same to me. I figure if I stick with "Java scripting" it'll keep me relevant with the recruiters, which is where the real action is at.
You can simply call it
JavaScript/5.0 (compatible; ES 6.0; tc:39) ECMA/262 (JScript, like Java) EcmaScript/2015
