UK OOB Hughes Chain Gun Queston

Poking around in the UK OOB I noticed that the Hughes chain gun on the Challanger (slot 56) has a HE kill of 8 and is classified as an light gun/autocannon; weapon class 5.

The weapon on the Warrior is the same (slot 54) but is has a HE kill of 5 and is weapon class 19.

Are they used differently or have different rates of fire?

One is the autocannon version, presumably for the more agile mountings (e.g. not a challenger turret) and it can engage low flying helos.

Both should have the same HEK (8). Weapon #54 is therefore a typo and should read 8 HEK.
