The blazers you're looking at online are either Polo I or II.
Basic models I can think of off the top of my head are typically characterized by the following details:
Polo I: 2-3 buttons, one vent
Polo II: 2-3 buttons, two vents
Polo III: 2 buttons, ticket pocket, two vents
Polo IV: 3 buttons, ticket pocket, two vents
Some say that III and IV fit slimmer, however, I have not had that experience, and many RL SAs have told me otherwise. IME they all fit similarly.
Other models (forgetting some):
Princeton: slim lapels, much slimmer chest/body, one vent
Grant Soft: unstructured, uncanvassed, unpadded, 3 patch pockets, two vents
Garrison: FU large ass lapels, roped shoulder without much padding, more shape
Bradford: Slimmer lapels, slimmer body, soft (I believe) shoulders
The last two were launched last year as new models.

The one I tried on was a "Polo 1" DOUBLE VENTED (not a single vent like you note above) and a slimmer cut. Hence my question about the cut.

While Polo I traditionally has had a single vent, things change and there are exceptions, hence the disclaimer.
Polo I-IV IME have all had the same sort of fit and cut, though some argue that III and IV are slimmer. There should not be a difference in cut between I and II- my guess is that it denotes two and three buttons, respectively.
