It should be noted that for the HSBC fund "This fund does not subscribe to Trustnet", and no risk score is displayed on the fund's Trustnet page, so is the score you have seen specific to that fund, or some sort of estimate based on its sector?

Specific to the fund. Even though FE scores are not posted on the page of non-subscribing funds, they are shown when running tables of the full sector, and are also shown if you include a non-subscribing fund in the Portfolio tool. (Re. Thrugelmir suggesting it is an average, I do not think so - in the past I have included high/low volatility non-subscribing funds in the Portfolio tool and I think it showed an appropriately high/low FE score.)

It is probably a difference in the data available to subscribing vs non-subscribing funds. You've scrutinised the data quite closely and there doesn't seem to be a reason why the scores should be different if equivalent data is used for both funds. That points to the scores for the two funds being based on non-equivalent data.
