Also the present mainstream consensus about this subject can be called 'SRT', but is different to what Einstein wrote.

 It is still the same one and only Special Theory of Relativity,
even if the math has evolved since 1905.
But there is nothing you can calculate from the metric,
which you can't calculate from the Lorentz transform in
"On the electrodynamics of moving bodies".

What exactly 'SRT' is, that is not cast in stone, but is a subject you could debate.

 The Special Theory of Relativity is precisely defined,
and there is no debate of what it is.
(Among reasonable knowledgeable people.)
 

You could regard as 'SRT' also the modern version(-s) of Einstein's origional theory.
This would be the relations in 'flat' space, where objects fly in streigth lateral motion and non-accelerated objects.
I would regard this interpretation of 'SRT' as perfectly possible, too.
This is the 'special' case of GR, which covers accelerated FoRs.
