vCloud VM name to vSphere VM name

Hello there!

Assume that I have credentials to access vCloud APIs and vSphere APIs. Given a VM name on the vCloud how can I find out the "real" name of the VM running on the vSphere underneath? The reason behind this question is because vCloud adds a random(?) number prefix to the VM names. So it is hard to guess the real VM names from the vCloud VM name. But I would imagine the real VM name will be available somewhere in the vApp XML. Can someone point me to the right place or sequence of calls to get it?

Thanks
