Am I right about the "trim" of a brisket?

Local market has brisket on sale $1.69 lb for PACKER TRIMMED and $2.99 lb for MARKET TRIMMED.

I think the Packer Trimmed is a whole packer and the Market trimmed is more of a flat and probably trimmed of most of the fat.

Am I right in my thinking?

Thanks!
 
Whole Packer trimmed is right off the fore minus the fat and bone off the rib.  Trimmed Packer is the same, with both point and flat, just most all the fat has been trimmed off, and only 0" - ¾" fat cap is left on.
