- Production notes
- Canonical Boano family parent. CI currently bridges 29 exact chassis, including prototype/alloy/standard variants; this is documentation coverage, not a production total. Legacy 74 is not promoted here. Chassis-specific identity conflicts such as 0533GT/0695GT remain on the child records. Audit 2026-10-20: residual numeric 74 now cleared in accordance with the existing note. The 29 bridged chassis remain documentation coverage, not a replacement total.
