A318 G + B Hydro failures different to other A320 family A/C?

Hi everyone

Going through PRO-ABN, I've noticed for the dual hydro failure (G + B), there are a couple of A318 specific actions. I've attached the section concerned beneath.

Whilst I can understand the differences in aerodynamics might warrant the FL350 restriction for the A318 only (due to the low wing loading and loss of LAF with alternate law perhaps?) some of the items associated only with the A318 seem as though they should be universal. Pushing RAT MAN ON for example is applicable to all aircraft in the family for the B+Y LO PR procedure and I see no reason why this should differ for the G + B procedure, but apparantly it does?

Similarly it suggests only recovering the blue system electric pump, should an overheat condition have ceased, only for A318s. Once more, this was applicable to all aircraft in the family for the B + Y LO PR procedure and I don't know why this is different.

I'm also curious to know why it's only permitted to use SBRK on the A318.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards
