Should be the same as the Stock Raven 4X in game (just divide the armor in half if you are talking TT).
However, let me dig for the TRO in my files... Might take me a while.

Keep it simple. Every night I have played at least one match has had illegal mechs. It is usually an accident, either the wrong varient picked or the player is inexperienced and did not know what they were doing.
Adding "counts as" rather than "stock only" adds a whole new level of complexity, and I do not think it is a good idea. A CN9-A(C) can be modified to a stock CN9-A easily enough, and the in-game HUD will show the correct varient ID. This does not hold true to the Atals and King Crab models you are describing.
If a player wants to do something that doesn't fit into the "stock" rules, let that player ask for permission in-lobby like we have done in the past. More players are good, but please get agreement from the players in the match if you are doing something a little different.
Agreed. I want it heavily known what is happening if someone "has" to have a stand in mech. I will add, I insist that it's the proper chassis. If you want to run a Panther, it HAS to be made on a Panther Chassis. I know the Jenner could "stand in as" a Panther, but we need at least visual confirmation that the mech in question is said Panther, and not think it's a Jenner.
I feel we should take this as a case by case situation. If someone wishes to test run a King Crab 0000 off the 000(L) for a match before they buy it... I'll probably let it go. If they want to run that stand in all the time, it's probably not going to be recommended at all.
Am I still making sense here?
