IPTA DR2 release VersionA uses DMOFF in it's .par files. My understanding is that this is similar to DMX. Neither PINT nor libstempo can handle this DM model. It has lines like:

DMMODEL DM 1
_DM  53281.0927574998 0.00145592665025232 5.36854989516535e-05
...
_CM  53341.0927574998 6.08366194548412e-07 1.10834102752821e-07
...
CONSTRAIN DMMODEL

Currently pint.models.dispersion_model only handles Taylor expanded DM variations (e.g. DM, DM1, DM2, ...) and DMX. Adding this functionality would allow us to use IPTA DR2 VersionA in addition to VersionB.

That model is described here: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/429/3/2161/1002440
(Keith et al 2013)

I don't think this is super trivial to add, as I think it requires a change to the fitting process itself.
