maps soundings availability

Hello,
The Maps soundings seem to be available only for 12 hours out, though the '13km bckup RUC' images are normally available for the full 48 hour forecast horizon. Am I correct in that the Maps soundings are derived from the same underlying data as the backup ruc images?

My concern is twofold- that the sounding data does not appear to consistently go beyond 10-12 hours out, and also, that the 3-5 hour ahead soundings could be from the tailend of the 48 hour model runs, meaning that the sounding data is ~36 hours old? We are using the entire 48 hour data set and actually wish it went out to 72 hours.

Thank you for maintaining such a (normally) great tool for us. We are relying on you guys and appreciate your efforts.
