SEPIC converter is not a sepic to the feedback loop?

Hello,
The following sepic led driver regulates its own input current.

spec:
vin= 5 to 8v
vout = 5 to 40v
pout = 1 to 5w
has overvoltage protection.
Coupled sepic inductor.
F(sw) = 30KHz - 125KHz

Its peak current mode, but the main negative feedback loop is closed around the input current.
Therefore, from a feedback loop point of view, this is not a sepic converter. It is much easier to stabilise than a sepic converter. -you can see that because it works stable even if the output capacitor is totally removed!

So you get all the advantages of a sepic (output short cct protection, and output voltage can be lower or higher than vin), but without having the feedback loop difficulty of a sepic

So can you confirm that the feedback loop equations for this converter are nothing like sepic converter feedback equations.?
