Pg282 doesn't number hit locations it just groups areas into broader categories (areas that are defined with location numbers elsewhere), one such group is:
Body = Neck, Torso & Groin
i.e. Torso and Groin are separate, even if they are grouped under 'Body' along with Neck, but "Body" never gets a hit location range and doesn't appear elsewhere*)
Pg552 Gives you hit location ranges for those sub areas Groin is 11, Torso is 9-10, Neck 17-18,
Pg398 defines the Torso location as containing chest and abdomen (this is also the area HT has the Corselet covering)
As noted LT then later divides the Torso again into Abdomen and Chest which are now separate locations Chest (9-10), Abdomen (11), groin now being subsumed into the abdomen, but still capable of being separately targeted as per Dan's rules in Load outs.
And as Dan has already pointed out breastplate etc generally only cover the chest location and not the abdomen
so all pages are consistent but they are talking about slightly different things. Not hugely clear I agree!
*actually not quite true, the buff coat in basic pg 283 and ballistic suit in pg284 are cited as covering the 'body' as are various body suits in UT, but it's not ever referenced as a hit location in combat with a number range. So as by pg292 they cover Torso, Neck and Groin
