I believe their numbers are how much gas passes through them when the valve is wide open. I put my Little Dragon on a flowbench and tested it and got similar numbers. The flowbench doesn't belong to me or I'd use it to test all the torches I have.
You've got a good point about them being the same as the Carlisle. So, perhaps those numbers are as I suspected - what can be passed through the torch. Did you measure the rates at largest usable flame on the LD and get similar results to what Carlisle posted for the Mini CC, or did you test the LD with the oxy valve wide open and get similar numbers to what Knight posted?
