The pyramid article gives the values as fraction of "max DR" or the material, but the result categories are 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.

As written it cannot be made of any of the materials as there is no material that gives lower value only vs crush.
But the HT description makes it to be Titanium Composite Scale in the article terms. Covering just the chest gives 1.155 lb/DR point or DR 15 and a base cost of 3466. The armor would be concealable under clothing or pass as ordinary civilian outerwear.
So the armor value is very wrong, but a 17lb Titanium Composite Scale would result in a concealable armor.
A 40lb DR 35 vest of the same material would be in the only heavy clothing conceal category.
