The SAP might have had a higher % of AP capping and therefore Gaijin reclassified it as AP. Kinda the inverse of what happened with the Dunkerque’s AP shell.

I have not preformed any tests, but based on pure in game feeling, hit rates seems better than the tables. But it might be just my feeling
Something quite interresting i have just read:
The 6inch Mk XXIII tripple mounts (the ones the later town classes used) were not the last tripple mounting built.
In 1942 another mount was designed, based on the Mk XXIII, which was called the XXIV. The main differences were powered loading, RP.10 remote power control and 60° of elevation.
These mounts were planned for Tiger, Bellerophon and Defence with Blake and Hawke being ordered a bit later.
Now to the fun bit: after most of those ships were cancelled, the admirality still ordered for most of the mounts to be completed and then stored.
So with those ships being laid down and the gun mountings being completed would this make them applicable for introduction into the game?
Would depend if we can find some pictures

for the Mk 26 mounts this migth have the gunnery trial reports in them (Tigers were done in 1959)
There were some designed and possibly made for the Minotaur class. And those were laid down
