Banebot Motor Spec Discrepencies

So here are the motor specs listed on the sheet from Banebots in the KOP as well as the specs listed on the FIRST website

Banebots Sheet: RS-775, Free Speed: 13,000 RPM, Free Current: 1.8A , Stall Torque: 110.8 oz-in, Stall Current: 86.7A
FIRST site: RS-775, Free Speed: 7,300 RPM, Free Current: 1.1A , Stall Torque: 61.1 oz-in, Stall Current: 30A

The Banebots website has specs that match are similar to the sheet, when you take the data into account at 12V.

However the FIRST data matches what is shown for the 12V equivalent of this motor.

Anyone have any idea on what the actual specs are on these motors? Has anyone tried testing them out yet? The label on our motor is definitely for the M7-RS775-18, but I'm weary of trusting a sticker.
