Default Did they ever build Banner Gibson J-45s with a 1 11/16" nut width?

Hi guys,

I was checking out the Carter's Vintage Guitars website earlier today and saw a '44 Banner Gibson J45 for sale. I don't doubt Carter's and it does from my inexperienced eye look like a banner Gibson with a replacement upper belly bridge that are usually found on the fifties J-45s along with a pickguard that they were using around the 60's, I think. But what threw me off was the listing of the nut width as 1 11/16". From what I know weren't all Banners built with a 1 3/4" nut width? Could this have just been a typo on Carter's end?

Anyway's, I'm just window shopping and salivating after a guitar that I can't afford but would love to hear from the Gibson experts on here. BTW, for those that may be interested, it seems to be listed at a pretty good price in comparison to other Banner's I've seen listed.
