Ah, OK. Admittedly, compatibility can be hard to achieve when a country is mostly purchasing from abroad, since generally different suppliers are incompatible and it's not necessarily wise to be completely dependent on 1 supplier.

We have a general agreement that 25ts per plane are used to represent everything technically necessary (crane, catapult etc.) to operate the plane and all the other points Roijen already mentioned...
Only CVs/large AVs are calculated differently, using the original SpringStyle rules.
