The difference actually relates to the origin of these words.
The words muster and mustang have no relationship at all to the original
shortform of must.
The word "must" actually has 3 meanings: be obliged, or as a noun it can mean
new wine or mould (hence musty and mustiness are on the shortform list)
The word mustard, in fact comes via the "new wine" meaning in that mustard was
originally made using must or new wine when grounding the seeds of the plant.
I hope this clarifies.

The only reason that I have been able to come up with is that they are not
included on the shortform list.

Greetings
Please can you explain to me why we use the "mST" shortform in "mustard" but
not in "muster" or "mustang"?
Thanks in advance
