is there no Soulmancy ritual for creating a Demon Bone Weapon?

Talking about the stuff on page 89-91 of Dimension Book 10
The closest I could find is the Soul Weapon ritual on page 110 of WB35 but SWs have different stats from DBWs so I don't think they're necessarily the same thing.
Oddly if you look at the Quick Find Index on page 6 of WB35 it lists Demon Bone Weapons as being on page 126 but if I go there while the "Minion War Arms Race" page does have a "Demon Melee Weapons" this oddly only talks about RANGED ancient weapons: Demon Bows / Demon Arrows, before moving onto "Demon Guns" and "Bone Shard Weapons" on page 126.
It's almost like something akin to a DB10 reprint got cut out from WB35 for space while neglecting to put a reference to DB10 for melee weapon stats?
I can't assume these are the same category of weapon - Soul Weapons explicitly do MD all the time whereas DBWs do SDC to SDC targets. DBWs require at least 10% bone in their construction, Soul Weapons do not. Soul Weapons can store 4 spells, DBWs can only store 3.
Soul Weapons have an explicit MDC amount which is useful (no healing rate is listed, not sure if you can repair it) whereas I don't know the MDC of DBWs only how much they inflict.
