M13 [snip] the alleged specs of this mpc

Tip opening and facing length interact, of course. Int'l Music's
catalog doesn't list every detail of every mouthpiece, but according to
their catalog:

Vandoren M13 and M13L --- along with Selmer HS and B --- have the
smallest tip openings on the chart ("below 1.00" - 1.02 mm). The
middle range of the chart is 1.10 - 1.12 mm. The largest opening on
the chart is 1.40+ mm.

M13 and M13L facing lengths are in the middle range (36 - 38 mm). The
shortest facing on the chart is Selmer B at 28 mm and the longest is
Selmer 120 @-----.
