  Reginald Ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the points where they differ, Reginald sees a monastic bias in the telling of the story.
This is established by comparing various early scriptures including the Pali Canon and what has survived of the Dharmagupta, Sarvastivadin, and Mahasamghaka canons.
What emerges, Ray argues, is a picture in which the original ideal was the forest renunciant, but with the rise of settled monasticism the renunciants began to be occluded in Buddhist texts which were preserved by the settled monastics.

Still, in term of Abbhidharma, Sarvastivadin (who had been rejected by the 3rd council, according to the Theravada tradition) and the Dharmaguptaka which were both dominant in Kushan Empire seems to have had major influence.
In term of vinaya practice, Mahasamghaka branch of sects which emphaised greater openeness might played dominant role.
Monks representing different theological orientation could live in the same Sangha as long as they practice the same vinaya.

I probably won't put Newari on the chart, but if I did, it would also spring off of Vajrayana as Tibetan does.
I've seen the "Mahasanghika" spelling before, but what I read said that "Mahasamghaka" was also a correct way to spell it.
If the one you suggest is more common, then I'll change that too.
