First being the normal version, the second being the test one fitted with a panto.

They decided to name the prototype after it as it is the very first Paris metro train with gangways, giving the feeling of an uninterrupted train, like a snake on tracks.

I honestly thought, the word "BOA" on the prototype is an acronym as well and I considered the reference to the snake family to be a pure coincidence.
Ironically, regular MF 77 doesn't have a gangways between cars, and as far as I remember from Paris Metro Simulator, the MF 01 (which I nicknamed as a "81-717M's French cousin" because it makes the same high pitched wheezing noise when accelerating from stand-still or stopping, like 81-717M does) is a metro train with gangways between cars.
