Source: I picked up a Austrian/Lauda schedule booklet circa. 2005 from a travel expo which had a seat plan of the combined fleet.
Notably, American Airlines also has this on their 77W fleet, where the 3-3-3 section was sold as Main Cabin Extra (Y+) , while the 3-4-3 section was normal Y.
Look closely in the background of this, where the 3-3-3 and the 3-4-3 layout are shown at the same time
