I would like to add that the method of manufacturing can have an impact on armour protection points.

For example take Dwarven armour and High Elven armour. Both take 24 iron and 24 coal for a complete set, however Dwarven armour yields while High Elven yields only. This implies that the dwarves are more skilled than the elves in metal working.

I agree that the same armour materials should yield the same protection, unless there is a reason that manufacturing can change the protection (not likely in the case of the rangers), or there is a gameplay balance reason for it, such as the speed of Wood-elven scout armour countering its low protection points.
