Quoting the SGII vehicle rules, page 31: "The rated Armour Value
actually
indicates the armour used on the FRONT surfaces of the vehicle; the
SIDES, TOP and REAR are assumed to have a value of 1 less than the
frontal armour, except for those with Armour 1 which are assumed to be
1all around." 

The DSII mine rules (p.44) assume that the bottom armour is 2 levels
lower than the front armour; the SGII mine rules assume that the mines
attack the wheels/tracks/ skirts/grav pads instead, and don't bother
with
armour at all, except in the summary box which seems to confuse the
Suspension die with Armour :-/

So, Andrew, you remembered the rules correctly :-)
