Live with it or build your own OOB's and post them to the MOD's forum. The last "suggestion" you made that I implemented ended up causing nearly 50 scenarios to be rebuilt and 5 campaigns. This ends now. it is impossible to have a database this large without some discrepancies mostly as the result of source material as you noted above.....one source claims one thing another claims something else and sometimes that date we use is an averaged compromise..or we go with one source over another and in many cases the sources being touted as " authoritative" now did not exist when the OOB was first written. Most games like this don't last 20 years

What you didn't notice because obviously, you didn't know, is that weapon uses the HE pen column when it attacks armour and the 6 value it has there is more than enough for the top armour it strikes

NO there is more than radio code difference. One has Sabot ammo and the other does not and that is the reason there are two units
