why this is not called a motorway?
Two possible reasons:
1. It's going to be a 6-lane motorway till Abbottabad (Muslimabad / Khokhar Mera interchange), but afterwards it reduces to a 4-lane access-controlled highway, and then further degrades to 2 lanes after mansehra. So, to keep things simple they used a single code for all three types of road.
2. It was initially just a 4-lane highway, but later decided to upgrade to 6 lanes. The section till Havelian is built using asian dev bank's funding. I think they are using the E-35 code to maintain consistency with the code used in the ADB project documents.
Anyway, its operational portion is a "motorway" alright.

Fantastic. Best motorway in Pakistan. Going through what is literaly 'gods country' and with epic history resonating on every hill along the way heading north to China ... can't wait to burn rubber on this on next visit to Pakistan.
