Default Hank Aaron G/U Bat...likely from MVP season??

I'm extremely interested in collecting game used bats...but it's seems the more I learn, the more confused I become. In the upcoming Heritage auction, there is a G/U Hank Aaron bat, believed to be from his MVP season of '57. It received a G/U "8" from PSA/DNA and a "7.5" from MEARS.

Here's where my confusion lies: Despite all the great signs of game use detailed in the description, this 35" bat only weighs 28 oz. How can that be?
Below is great documentation of Aaron's bat orders (published by Troy K.), but couldn't find anything remotely close to that weight ordered at any point in his career.

Just trying to further my knowledge regarding G/U bats, and I know there are many in this forum that can shed some light. Thanks
