Generally, shouldn't the numerical aspects of the rules outweigh the descriptive aspects if there is a contradiction? Especially in a case like LT armor coverage where coverage chance is closely linked to cost and weight of the armor piece?

This isn't a table about X/6 coverage. We have two systems, an abstract X/6 coverage, and a specific hit location coverage. This table is about specific hit location coverage. They are
mutually incompatible systems, because one uses the actual face sub-locations, and one does not.
There are no "cheek guards" in Loadouts: LT. Loadouts LT doesn't have separate items for the different helmet parts. There are helmets, based on historical designs. I can't tell you why they don't follow the rule from Low Tech: go ask the author.
As previously stated, this is NOT for specific assembled equipment pieces that already list what locations they cover.
