1:
If I remember right bounty hunters stay at maximum heat loss until they get to 40%(40heat).
If it would work the same for troopers that means we should be at full regen until we are at 7,2 ammo. But we can never actually use those last 0,8 ammo so they are in fact lost. That means we only got full ammo regen until we go to 8ammo.

That means we can only use 33% of our ammo before we stop regaining ammo at our maximum level.

Also, (if I remember right) when an ability cost 1ammo for us it costs 8heat for you.
We got 12ammo. 12x8=96. So you got 4 more heat then you should if this were true mirror classes. Or, you got 12 & 1/2 ammo rounds.

So, in conclusion.
Bounty hunters got ~4% more resources then Troopers do.
Bounty hunters stay at max regen 7% longer then troopers do.

The issue that causes this is simply the big difference between a big number (100) and a markedly smaller number (12). You simply can't keep it the same. However you do it one class will get a slightly better/worse resource regen.

I swear i've seen this argued both ways. A citation would be very useful to decide this one way or the other, since we clearly have _some_ interaction with fractional ammo (eg, the tooltip say .6 ammo/sec at our max regen), though this may be a difficult issue to actually find evidence for without some very OCD testing or a developer quote.
