I really find that hard to believe. I don't ever remember 40 years ago seeing them with stumped/deformed bodies.
Cyano, Carpintis or Hybrid?

Short bodied fish were first developed in Asia (goldfish) and later became popular with many species. Now, short bodied everything exists. Don't shoot the messenger.
While the most common scenario is that the fish shown is a cross between a common blood parrot, and an H. carpintis, that too is still just a guess. Unfortunately most F1 offspring of that cross look like normal H. carpintis.

Short bodies used to be considered culls (still are to most) however as stated thier popularity is rising. I'd say short body carpintis (cyano would have much smaller more uniform spots).
