MTH ALP-46 required minimum O-72 curves?

I was looking at the MTH New Jersey Transit ALP-46 on their website and noticed that it some of the listings said the minimum radius was O-36 and some of the listings said minimum curve of O-72. Both of course are same, but that can't be correct operating minimum,  is it?

Having a minimum O-72 curve basically shuts out a vast percentage of the market,  whether one operates MTH Premier level/Scale or not. Six feet is a lot of real estate. I would think that at least an O-54 minimum would be more practical. 
 
I've come to expect mistakes and errors in manufacturers catalogs (ex. the same model will have 2 different minimum curves in the same catalog) but I need to make sure in this case. MTH even lists the ALP-46 as having 1:43 scale dimensions. Isn't true O Scale 1:48?
 
If anybody knows, please let me know as I don't want to make a costly mistake.
