I'd almost say that it does disqualify it from a BAT. If the rest of the horn is a BAT, and the bell is only 17 3/4 inches, the bell diameter is too small.

But, I don't really know.

I believe that the preferred term used when referring to M&M horns generally is "POS".

YMMV.
This, friends, is a BAT:

24" bell, valve branches the size of a man's forearm.
