Italian Legends and my understanding of it.

Italian legends was printed about 10% less than English. Italian packs contain an extra uncommon in each pack, which explains the difference in pricing versus english to a degree.

English legends and my understanding of it.

English legends were split(uncommon wise) into A boxes and B boxes with half of the uncommons from the print run going into A and half from the print run going into B. This DID NOT mean there were any less uncommons in the packs(3 per) nor any less of a certain uncommons in the total print run(excluding the differences between u1, u2, etc).

How far off am I?

ITA Legends was printed about 3 times as much as English, for each English U1 there's 58,000 copies, for an ITA one there's about 150,000. There was the standard 3 Uncommons in an ITA booster.
Word on the street is Hasbro still has quite substantial holdings of ITA Legends left hence seeing them as prizes often at WoTC sanctioned Eternal events (GenCon last year, GP side events etc)

You're correct on the A vs B split, B boxes were a tad rarer for some reason. In the old days you could redeem 100 Uncommons from either A or B cycle and get 100 of the other cycle to complete sets.

Only god boxes I've ever witnessed directly, and thus trust is Invasion. I've seen a dozen of legends (back then that was opening a lot), and never seen anything like that.

God boxes of invasion were tournament packs with varying amounts of rares in the uncommon slot.
