Yes that is also what I heardI can clear up one mystery up on that page! The MF 175 was actually known as The 177 in Germany because The Germans are a bit sensitive about "Number 175" ( Don't mention The War)

I know it sounds a bit far fetched but l have been told on good authority that was the reason.
As you say when the 175 was marketed over Germany it was perceived as disgusting that they called it that, so rapidly changing to 177
