I don't know about your interpretation, but I always thought the M in MIB
was Mint. Mint is a condition, not a level of completeness. The IB is for
In Box, which is not the same as MISB, a Sealed Box, which implies
completeness. This is an incomplete set MIB - condition Mint, with Box, but
not complete.
The stickers are not applied, but included. Sounds like MIB - missing one

How would you describe a set in mint condition that is missing a few pieces
and still has the box?
MIB is not necessarily perfect. MISB would be, with the possible exception
of a battered (but still sealed) box.
