I think you should respect the original order
even in Italian I would logically write the name of the machine first, and then the specification, so if they chose a different order for whatever reason, I think you should respect it.
I agree with you that specification is the right word.

Component List, Component Index
It's a guess...
I think that the word "specifica" may be related to the list of the components rather than to the entire manual.
