Well stock may not have been the right word to use. Looking at the page as if I wanted to build the diffs (which I eventuall will), I did as I do with many manuals - scan over the text until I see something that stands out as important or interesting. A lot of the writing is (and this is no exception, and is not a bad thing at all) standard description and other formalities that not everyone will read in the excitement.
At first glance, I saw the table. I saw "diff ratio, top speed, pinion required for 41mph" and it took me a few seconds to realise the 'top speed' column was the top speed with the "standard" gearing (ie the gearing in your example setup). It's far from major issue though, and I doubt anyone would be seriously hung up on it.
I guess the point is there should be some qualifier next to top speed, because unless you read it thoroughly (which of course you're meant to, but unfortunately most people don't) it is initially confusing having a top speed written next a column suggesting pinion choice for a particular top speed.

Not sure I will change it but any preference for next time?

Again nothing overly important, more aesthetics than anything. What drew my initial attention was on the second page you say "The following picture shows the layout for the....differentials included..." and I wasn't sure which picture you were referring to. 'The following picture' I think could mean the one next to it or the one beneath it. It doesn't really change the meaning of anything, but it made me stop and think about the layout.
