Narrative:

We departed shv with said clearance. Departure communication was normal. Upon reaching 8400' MSL, controller asked why we were not level at 5000'. Exact words: 'air carrier X, I show you at 8400 and you were to level off at 5000; say intentions.' we informed him that we were going to 12000', as originally cleared. Another problem occurred when somehow equipment was changed to a (aircraft type). Equipment is always filed as a (type). Also, controllers informed us that our final destination was btr, and not msy. All controllers involved were informed of the wrong in-flight.
