With something like holsters, web belts, mag pouches and so on, there's not really a lot of variation you could put into the stats.
They're pretty much a single-function item with next-to-no variation in the task they perform so I think it's inevitable that the stats are going to end up similar or even the same as the info someone else has drawn up.
You could also ask Paul for permission to use his work if you want to make use of the info he has posted.
I don't think anyone is going to be bothered if your stats are the similar or even the same as someone else's and if you do use the info directly from Paul's site then I believe a simple acknowledgement of his contribution satisfies any ethical and common courtesy needs.
One last thing to consider, because Protodimensions comprise articles for a variety of horror/conspiracy games, a lot of the readers are not necessarily connected in any way to Twilight: 2000 and haven't been exposed to Paul's site.
