MP7U2LL/A is a 32GB, silver, unlocked model, that originally went up for sale in March of 2017.
If this was being sole as a Verizon PP device, it is either factory unlocked, or it is one of the multi-SKU models that activates a lock profile based on the type of SIM card installed at first boot.

The 6 family and the SE are the only "universal" radio hardware iPhone models as far as CDMA and GSM support are concerned. There are some band differences, but any unlocked version of those handsets, originally sold in the US, will work on Sprint. Versions originally sold outside of the US will have issues activating due to the profiles set by Apple.
You need to go to a store that has DNA2 tool to get it whitelisted (and they may refuse since you aren't a sprint customer) but they can't do the free line in store only the whitelisting so you can't open a free line through a store.
Search the thread for DNA2.

As for A1662, a few claim to have gotten it whitelisted but many more are being refused. And it also lacks Band 41:

Just wondering one last thing. I was reading people getting loaners from family to sign up and then switch and were talking about getting banned.
Are we not allowed to Switch to different phones even though people said they have? Also why do they have to call? My current account lets you switch whenever from the site.
Just curious because I have a dead iPhone 6 that's eligible, and a Pixel. If I get 2 lines, what issue will I run into with the iPhone 6? It doesn't turn on and my plan was to use the SIM in a Nexus 5.

Doubly so when, as has been pointed out to you in this very thread, Sprint advertises that it will accept those devices as standard policy.
Sprint says, "We support these devices." You repeatedly claim that Sprint is lying.
Again, if an iPhone 6, 6s, or SE was originally sold in the US, Sprint will accept it. The vast majority of those device are pre-loaded into Sprint's whitelist, but for those that are not, they can easily be added. This is all on Sprint's website.
The only exception to this are devices that were originally sold by Sprint owned MVNOs (Boost, Virgin, etc.). Those may be blocked from activation on Sprint if their FED period has not been completed.
Now, there are activation issues (not whitelist issues) with models sold outside of the US, because Sprint did cast its net wide with Apple (and Samsung) and pre-loaded more than just US devices into the whitelist. These devices will pass the IMEI check (as they are already loaded), but will only get LTE data when activated due to a device profile issue. This profile issue can be corrected by Apple, but only when escalated to senior CS. For example, I have a Chinese 6s+ IMEI that will pass Sprint's whitelist check with flying colors. It shouldn't, but it does.
Finally, many in this thread seem to be confusion promo eligibility with whitelist eligibility. Just because a device is eligible for Sprint's whitelist, does not mean it is automatically eligible for this specific promo according to the computer. Doubly so since the promo IMEI check is incorrect. It will block devices that are eligible according to the terms and it will allow devices that are supposed to be blocked (hello, iPad)!
So yes, there are reasons why specific devices won't work (and FED blocks are separate than SIM locks), but anyone who purchased one of the given iPhones new from Verizon, ATT, or T-Mobile, and has it unlocked, will 100% be able to have it added to Sprint's whitelist (if it isn't already there).
Oh, and as for Band 41, given the relative slowpoke speeds that Sprint has in much of the country, it's not a big loss.
If you actually activate the phone on the line, it should be fine.
