AP1590B Paragraph 239:

So the rocking past the gate (for Take off) is in effect disabling the ABC however Mod 154) still ensures that only +12 to +12.5Lbs will be the max obtained.
There is discussion in the Merlin Manual about the Boost controller requiring an initial throttle advance of +0.5Lbs to get it in operation. Maybe this goes some way to explain the 12Lbs v 12.5lbs diff ?

IIRC in later Merlins the Boost Control remained active for "Emergency boost" by adjusting the boost control to give higher boost. IIRC Should be explained in Pilot's Notes General 2nd Edition.
