The H130 has Pedal Position sensors (or transducers) and alters it's Nr because of the inputs recieved therefrom. The offical reason is some nonsense about being quieter (and it is very quiet), but the real reason is likely to be to produce more TR thrust in the hover.
so you've basically copied Lala's suggested reasons - great depth of knowledge - well done! The major selling point of the 130 (apart from the size of its cabin) is the very low noise signature - that will be why it is done.

A yaw pedal position transducer can be called a position sensor since it provides the AP (or FADEC) with the actual pedal position which will be representative of TR pitch.

A yaw sensor would not be in the yaw control run but would be an output from the yaw rate gyro/horizontal gyro and be used for rate damping or yaw synchronisation functions.
