I'm not up on the Central American terminology, but for your other question, in 1910, J.C. Deagan was manufacturing the #4732 Marimba-Xylo. (6-octave, E2-E8). In 1920, Deagan offered the Nabimba, a 5-octave, C2-C7 instrument with buzz resonators in the Central American style.
The Musser Canterbury was the first 4.3 instrument, in production at least by the mid-1950's. Yamaha made the first 4.5 marimba, the YM5000, in 1974. Yamaha again made the first modern era 5.0, the YM6000, in 1984, although they had produced a half-octave low extension for the YM5000 previously.
