Are there any TRUE reverse-sidecut skis?

The majority of skis labeled as "reverse sidecut" are really just ultrafat skis with an extremely wide sidecut and very long tapered sections at the front and back. I know that this is so that they are not completely unskiable on hardpack, but are there any skis that have complete reverse sidecut like a waterski? I feel like this kind of ski wouldn't be something you'd ski on hardpack at all anyway.

Those clearly have a very wide normal sidecut along much of the ski.

You might be right. Middle of the ski looks at least like straight sidecut to me if you look closely

How much did they cost? I guess they're discontinued aside from customs?

Ok then my eyes/brain could be playing tricks on me because they kinda look like they have a bit of normal sidecut too

Obviously you know better than I do.
