Default Ultra-tech: Sealed combat armor and helmets

In Sealed Combat Armor Table (Ultra-tech, p. 180) Locations are "all" for each sort of armor.
Does "all" include the whole body plus head? (like Counterpressure Vacc Suits)

For example, Space armor can be sealed with Space combat helmet. In this case, how should we calculate DR for head? DR from armor + DR from helmet?

I think it must be "Full suit" instead of "all" location (BS p. 282: "Full suit is everything but the head"), but I'm not sure.

What do GURPS's experts think?

I tend to treat anything that says "Sealed with the addition of" a specified accessory as not covering the area that goes with that accessory but I agree the wording is probably not technically rigorous.
