Perhaps the calculations were improved yes but you're still looking at the base calculations that were made prior to 2003 -- those calculations were not re-modified to fit the new standard. They were plainly underrated from the factory.
As they were underrated, after 2003 their rating would have remained the same as most cars went down. The 3800 went from 210 to 195.
