What is a 3-up? I don't have a clue. Yes I know as always.

In miniature and model making, the original master figure is frequently sculpted at several times the size of the finished for sale product. This makes it easier to work with, and get fine details on it. Then the molds are made to the reduced size. For an example, you can see the Land Raider article in Index Apocrypha. The then new, now current, Land Raider kit was mastered at twice its final size, with some details three times, like the weapons. They were then pantographed down to the kit we have today.

So people were thinking the very large Magnus may have been an oversized master, and the small one the production piece. Which is not the case, according to sources.
