Default German artillery pieces with low HE penetration

Doing some more delving into the German arsenal, I found a couple of artillery pieces that had HE penetration ratings that seemed slightly lower than usually seen for guns of given caliber. These were the following:

Weapon 036: 7.62cm FK288(r) - HE pen 1
Weapon 053: 7.62cm L41 F-34 - HE pen 1
Weapon 063: 8.76cm FK280(e) - HE pen 1
Weapon 069: 10cm K18 - HE pen 1
Weapon 070: 10cm leFH 30(t) - HE pen 2

Based on other similar weapons, I would have expected the first three weapons to have HE penetration of 2, and the last two weapons to have HE penetration of 3.
