With an unanimous response the answer is.....

The Sun supplied SUN1.3G entry is actually for a Seagate ST41600N (Elite-1)

disk_type = "SUN1.3G" \
        : ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 4 \
        : trks_zone = 17 : asect = 6 : atrks = 17 \
        : ncyl = 1965 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 3500 : nhead = 17 : nsect = 80 \
        : rpm = 5400 : bpt = 44823

partition = "SUN1.3G_PREINSTALL" \
        : disk = "SUN1.3G" : ctlr = SCSI \
        : a = 0, 34000 : b = 25, 133280 : c = 0, 2672400 : g = 123, 288320 \
        : h = 335, 2216800

partition = "SUN1.3G_STANDARD" \
        : disk = "SUN1.3G" : ctlr = SCSI \
        : a = 0, 34000 : b = 25, 133280 : c = 0, 2672400 : g = 123, 2505120

The following entry was also supplied by Doug Neuhauser (doug@perry.berkeley.edu)

# Seagate Elite 1 entry from CITA
disk_type = "Seagate ELITE ST14600N" \
        : ctlr = MD21 \
        : trks_zone = 17 : asect = 2 \
        : ncyl = 2096 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 2098 : nhead = 17 : nsect = 75 \
        : rpm = 5400 : bpt = 45568

# Seagate Elite 1 entry from CITA
partition = "Seagate ELITE ST14600N" \
        : disk = "Seagate ELITE ST14600N" : ctlr = MD21 \
        : a = 0, 46725 : b = 35, 93450 : c = 0, 2762115 : g = 105, 2621940

You get the same amount of usable space from either entry.
