 looks like it's pretty close to the legacy scout ship as
 the old one did have some cargo space.

 The J4/2G version has 2 staterooms (not 4, on
 the original), and 6
 dtons remaining, which
 could be another stateroom, and air/raft bay,
 or whatever else.

 The turret mechanism is a dton.  There is no
 way I'd send a 100 dton
 ship out without
 a turret.

 The original Book
 2 scout had one empty double turret installed,
 stock, along with 4 staterooms, an air/raft
 bay,  and 3 dtons of cargo
 space left on
 the design.

 I'm
 puttering in High Guard Shipyard.

Perhaps the diffs 'tween  the CT LBB2 & CT LBB5 (HG) systems are coming into play?

Otherwise, it would seem that, using CT HG, one would have to resort to J3 2G in order to match the original scout ship.
