Doesn't matter at all. All that matters in that field is the
partition number.  sfdisk is often used to copy the partitioning
of one drive onto another, and that field will always show the
source drive.  The drive that get written is the one you specify
on the command line.

In effect you'll be copying the partitioning of what was my
/dev/sde (an external drive of exactly the same size as yours)
onto your /dev/sdd.
