... not familiar with that flower terminology... not sure what that actually means...

Carina = Keel
Alae = Wings
Vexillum = Standard, Banner

"crd" ... wing petals often absent, keel petals sometimes free.

One of the "Brac" mutants has no wing petals ...

crd might be an interesting avenue.

An alternate might be the k genotype.

These three accessions in the USDA have good pictures of the flowers and the wings are missing / fused with the keels and the keels seem to be open a bit. Dr. Marx was a crazy pea breeder!

Those are interesting flowers!  The Marx 572 is really pretty!  Looks open for business, that's for sure. :)
