Stan, the complete list of VD mouthpieces current at the time that chart was published is (in lay length order) :-

17 mm / 0.669" = A2
18 mm / 0 708" = A1 - A3
19 mm / 0.748" = 5RV - B44 - B40 - B44
20 mm / 0.787" = 5RV Lyre - 11.6 - B46
21 mm / 0.826" = 11.1
22 mm / 0.866" = B45 - B45 dot - B40 - 5JB

I wouldn't think VD would have concurrently used both systems but switched to new style at one point - however no knowing what 3rd party quoters did.

How a short facing plays depends on shape of curve between tip and point where curve meets reed platform as much as on absolute dimensions so there is complex interaction between length/opening/curve shape.

I play mostly on Crystal A1 and used mostly blue box 3 or 3.5
On the A2 (which is shorter but also wider .047 vs .043) I use 2.5 or 3
On M13 (close and long) I use blue box 4 or 4.5
