Oh dear, I must have read the first chart in too much of a hurry, I was under the impression they were both at 50lbs. My apologies Kurfürst, madrebel. Thanks for the detailed explanation though Viper! The second chart will actually be very very useful to us if these later aircraft are added as a maximum steady roll rate chart since we know that the maximum figure in the force-displacement stick model in CoD is 50lbs, it's mentioned in the manual:

A regular human can do little more than 50 lbs of counter-pressure on the stick. This means that we have to model this virtually. Cliffs of Dover fully models various forces acting upon control surfaces. For example, a joystick in your hand fully deflected down is equal to 50 lbs of pressure.
Mind, the 30lbs one is just as useful for testing assuming we set the roll axis as linear and apply 3/5ths pressure using an external program or something similar (eg. set the 100% deadzone in stick settings to cover the last 2/5ths of stick travel).
