Listed value does not match up with reward in Universal Cartographics

As I was testing some sale values I noticed a mismatch between what is listed and what is rewarded

3137 CR received

2387 CR => Reward (@ 75% assumed)
1163 CR => Bonus @ 75%
----------- +
3550 CR

3550 - 3137 = 413 CR Difference (11,6%)

The journal logs a completely different value for the bonus:
{ "timestamp":"2022-10-03T09:46:14Z", "event":"SellExplorationData", "Systems":[ "Laso CM-K d9-9" ], "Discovered":[ "Laso CM-K d9-9" ], "BaseValue":2387, "Bonus":1913, "TotalEarnings":3137 }

doing the math assuming the bsevalue is at least correct, the actual bonus is a flat 750 for the first discovery?
that would mean both the game and the journal are listing 2 completely different random values for the bonus.

Tried creating an issue for it https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/54434
But all I get is: The issue could not be loaded.

Can we get this fixed?

This happens if you use the "wrong" web browser to report a bug - a required field at step 3 isn't displayed, so when you complete step 4 without the required field, the bug report fails.

You can in theory work around this by trying as many web browsers as you can find until one of them works, but it's probably not worth it.

a field that only shows when you use the right browser? Alert the Raxxla tin-foilers, we may have a lead!

Did you have any NPC crew hired? Even if they're inactive, part of the payout would go to them.

no NPC, CMDR Matt G actually figured out where the numbers shown come from. more in this thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/exploration-value-formulae.232000/

star has a mass of 1.3008.
1200 + (1200 * 1.3008 / 66.25) =~ 1224 after rounding.
It got first discovery bonus ( x 2.6), so it becomes 3182 (after rounding).
sold at a carrier (x 0.75), so it becomes 2387 (after rounding).
This is the journal BaseValue. Now, 2387 - 1224 = 1163. This is what is shown in the UI
Fully mapped the system, which would give a 1000 bonus per body, but we're on a carrier so this is now 750. This is not displayed on the UI.
1163 + 750 = 1913, which is what the Bonus in the journal is showing.
2387 + 750 = 3137, which is the TotalEarnings field of journal
