An early EVO is hard as hell on valvetrain parts with forced induction/high specific output, so I would wager that most of that extra duration is later EVC compared to the Pioneer that probably has a very early EVC to reduce exhaust reversion/noise. I would also speculate that the extra intake duration is mostly IVO and the IVC is virtually identical to the African cam.
Emissions are probably a big factor for the relatively low output of the Pioneer and the huge jump in exhaust duration between the two cams. My thinking is based on the "carbon tax" they impose on us via manufacturers for gross emission output (or, more simply, stupid bulls*** breathing tax.) Manufacturers do a lot of things that don't appear to make sense, but do when you look at the big picture.
