Forum:Armory Farming, Mission Variants?

I played BL over the weekend with my bro-in-law and when I did the knoxx armory run with him my super marcus sweep mission got checked. I was annoyed but know I can still do the "its like christmas" run. I noticed though that the weapons levels are very different from the main knoxx run and the super marcus sweep run (we are both level 61). Most of the chests in the knoxx run we farmed were around lvl 55, and when we farmed my sms mission they are mostly 60-61. However in the rooms that you have to take the lift to get to (with red laser doors) most of the chests (and most are crimson lance holding rarer weapons) are holding lvl 48 guns. Which is needless to say annoying, but there are like 3 in these 9 rooms that have lvl 60-61 guns. ok now my questions:

1: Does anybody else's game make these chests level 48?

2: Does the "its like christmas" run make these chests go to 61?
