Yes, Jay, and lately the USPS has begun referring to the addresses as OKC on their website. I'm not sure why, but I suspect the change is intentional.
Is Midwest City a neighborhood of OKC? That may be why, I think. I've noticed that with other cities.
If it means anything, I'd definitely help you move if I were there. I dig the practical physical work.

MWC (the official abbreviation) is a separate municipality, but it's a suburb of OKC. However, the address numbering system is an extension of OKC as the central reference point. Everything east or west of the N/S center line (Santa Fe Avenue) is numbered consecutively all the way into the next counties. The same goes for numerical addressing running north or south of the E/W center line (Main Street), running off into adjacent counties. This comes from the "section line" surveying grid system in use at the time Oklahoma was platted for settlement. You'll find a similar effect in the municipalities around Tulsa, and maybe Lawton as the three largest cities in the state.
