Confused about Nirn Armor

Alright I'm pretty sure this is me being confused and not a bug, so if someone could explain this - that would be GREAT!

On a template CP301 character, with no armor on, I have 2640 spell resist, and 0 Physical resistance. (This is with no CP or gear on)
When I go to craft a VR16 shield with the nirnhoned trait (regular white shield) it says it increases my spell resistance and physical resistance by 262.
When I equip the shield, my spell resistance becones 4402 and physical resistance becomes 1762.
4402 - 2640 = 1762

1762 is not 262. I don't see any known issues about this, also, I really have no idea how to test what resistance I actually am getting. Or maybe, my understanding of what adding 262 is wrong so my math would be wrong. Could anyone clear this up for me?

    Doesn't it increase the spell resistance of the shield? So, it adds 262 to whatever the value of the shield is? So, maybe the shield itself provides 1500 physical, and the trait adds 262 to that for a total of 1762?

    EDIT: And, 2640 spell resist, plus 1762 totals 4402, so it's adding 262 to a value of 1500 from the shield itself for a total of 1762 added to both spell & physical resist?
