Panarin et al. reported that the phase so far identified as SmA in one component compound of the Inui mixare must be a random polar SmC-like phase, SmC_R. We have studied the same material by using polarized Raman scattering to decide whether it is a SmC_R phase or an ordinary SmA phase. By comparining the experimentally obtained apparent orientationl, order parameters, <P_1> and <P_4>, with the simulated ones, we have concluded that their identification is probably wrong. It must be the ordinary SmA phase but not the random polar SmC-like phase.
