29VBUD Wildwood or Salem

We went and looked at a 2020 camper that was a 29VBUD.
It was in a prep bay already sold. But we really liked the floorplan as the bunk room had a double bed on bottom and 2 twins on top.
When we got home to do some more research on it we could not find a 29VBUD on the Forest River website.
And very few results doing a Google search.
We did see some results saying it was a Salem and some said it was a Wildwood.
Does anyone know anything about this model?
And why would it not be on the Forest River website?

Salem and Wildwood are twin brands, like Rockwood and Flagstaff.
Built in the same factory, on the same assembly line.
No differences except outside graphics and interior decor.

Any reason there would be a model 29VBUD out there but nothing on the Forest River website?
Do they make custom alterations for customers and name the camper a different number?
Just trying to understand why I can't find a floorplan showing this model.

Quick search brings up both Salem and Wildwood VBUD at Couchs RV, RVtrader and a couple other sites.

Asked my dealer about the Salem 29VBUD. He said it's new for 2020, and only in "limited production" from the Goshen plant. He also said that he can't order one, as it stands now.

I found lots of Salem/Wildwood 29VBUD models for sale. FR is always late updating their website and often brings out new mid-season models.
Seriously doubt that they make custom alterations, especially for entry-level models.
