That particular example is problematic. These versions are all very different, as their other stats (mass, in particular) demonstrate. They represent discrepancies in how the various authors viewed the suits, from "invincible, overwhelming force" to "playable, more like the original". The TL10 Commando Battlesuit from Ultratech (p. 183) is the TL10 version of the Battlesuit from the Basic Set (p. 285), which was recommended for Interstellar Wars (p. 162) -- all 4e, and a fairly close match for Battledress from Classic Traveller.
