Sure, no problem! I actually noticed this during my research for the video, so I opted to take my information directly from the source. On PlayNick's website https://playnick.at/en/product/verdi-traviata/ they list the facing under additional information as:

Facing
1,28mm, long

Additionally in this video: https://youtu.be/PT028iVzgyE Nick Kuckmeier talks about how the Verdi mouthpiece has, "a bit more open facing, but it has also a longer facing." This is around 17:30ish mark; you should note, the conversation begins by comparing the Verdi Traviata to the Puccini Tosca mouthpiece, but as he moves away from the comparison he begins to talk about the benefits of how the Verdi's longer facing impacts reed choice and the way you approach playing it. It's a very informative video and I definitely recommend giving it a watch!
