You are quite likely correct and I misspoke by including 12CP in that comment.

Also note that there are significant differences in the performance (and therefore, likely the s/w internals) between the original (no parenthesis) and later versions of the 12CP; the original is notably faster, at least for some benchmarks. Speculation is ports by different subcontractors, when the original CP was "improved" to add the parenthesis and other functions.

Nice job on the Wikipedia page BTW, thanks for doing it and sharing here.
