All of the values are for Minmatar dropsuits. The format is (Armor/Shield). The higher value is highlighted in bold.

Light (70/100)
Scout (70/100)
Medium (140/160)
Assault (190/210)
Heavy (390/410)
Commando (260/300)

Logistic (150/90)
Sentinel (460/410)

Why are these two Minmatar dropsuits sporting increased armor totals? Traditionally Minmatar favor speed and shields. When a Minmatar ship has tanking bonuses in Eve Online it is always with shields. Their slot layouts are generally balanced, yes, but their shield HP always surpasses their armor HP.

Meanwhile in Dust 514, the Minmatar's shield regeneration, shield delay, and shield depleted delays are second only to the Caldari. It's pretty obvious that the Minmatar were intended to be shield tankers.

It seems to be an easy fix though: simply reverse the totals.

You have obviously never seen armor fit minmatar ships. the armor Hurricane disagrees with your assessment.

You have obviously never seen armor fit minmatar ships. the armor Hurricane disagrees with your assessment. My assessment mentions that their slot layout is balanced, but they always maintain a higher shield HP than armor HP. I coukd care less if someone wants to throw plates on a Minmatar dropsuit. I just want their shield HP fixed. He imposes order on the chaos of organic evolution...
