True, and they give different results, but there seem based on a different end result premise, the HT and LT* rules give specific modifiers to holdout. e.g "DR/3 for flexible" The Pyramid articles seem to have sub divisions that equate to specific example of ordinary clothes e.g "more than a quarter Max DR but less than half Max DR is like outer clothing" etc. (I don't have access to cutting edge at work only the later UT one are the rules the same?)
So it's going to come down to what is the DR 35/5 advanced body armour in HT made out of in terms of the pyramid articles, and thus what the Max DR would be, and therefore what fraction of it DR 35 is.
*Actually Dan Howard's article on concealed armour In Pyramid 3/53 although aimed at LT stuff makes some points that are I think general enough to apply at higher TL's as well
