Could Hunter or someone who is associated with writing the Computer Design System please explain why are all of the Control Panels and Terminals (CP&T) designated as having a volume of 1.35vl?

Looking in MegaTraveller: Referee's Manual (MT:RM), 2nd Ed. 1987, p. 81 and Traveller the New Era: Fire, Fusion, & Steel, Mk1, Mod 1 (January 1994), p. 47 there is a difference in volume between the various control station types. MegaTraveller: Referee's Manual is the one that is the closest match to the CP&T's listed on p. 233 of the THB.

Using the Control Panel Units table on p. 81 of MT:RM as a model here is a possible change:
