New Devoucoux- panel decoding help?

Hi everyone,
I’ve searched previous posts but can’t find anything relating to the saddle in question. It looks like some of the coding has changed since some of these posts were made since the D3D panels became a thing. It’s a brand new Devoucoux Biarritz O.

What is listed is- 180 1 AA GB 3PB STD D3D 0 5 SB N

What I do know- 18" 1AA flap, D3D panel, SB means scapula brush?
Beyond that I don’t know. This saddle had “3PB”, I’ve mostly seen “3PC”. What does this stand for and what makes this one different?

Not sure about GB, STD (standard something?), and N.

Any help?

I take it that it’s used? GB should mean it was initially made for a client in Great Britain. Ones for the States are stamped USA.

They are made in “France”.
GB is usually the leather type. GB is grain buffalo.

@spicyreddragon , if I remember correctly from my time with LIM:
STD is a standard panel.
3PB has something to do with the girthing system.
D3D0 is the DVX technology on how the panels fit (wider, increased weight baring surface). Nothing added, hence the STD panel.
5SB is 5mm brushed from the scapula.
N (IRC) is the knee block.

I worked for CWD but we were sister companies, so had a lot of DVX come through in trades.
I am a little rusty since its been years. But our invoicing system/software was the same so that invoice serial should read something like: seat size, flap size, flap length, grain, girth, panel, knee block/pad.
