My assumption, they were the bases that held the strakes being tested, so they had an unknown thickness, and they likely disrupted the under airflow, like a spoiler would, and to what to degree, I don't know, but a test with no strakes and PW only, would have resolved that question, for that single point of air pressure test measurement.
You may well be right - and of course you can do some testing and make your own measurements. I don't have a monopoly on testing and posting results!
