The formula might have been different for EQ Classic and Kunark.

I just remember doing sebillis for months in kunark as a troll warrior with 255str using a 9/18 mainhand and 14/28 offhand. Using your formula, my mainhand would have been 49.7 max hit and offhand would be 60.2 max hit.

Even though the 14 damage weapon was in the offhand, it would get substantially higher hits than the 9dmg mainhand weapon. It definitely didn't cap at 60. I remember being able to hit for 70 or so with it. I'm 99% sure the formula you posted is wrong, at least for Kunark era.

My formula of 70.7 offhand sounds much more accurate. I actually think it maxed out at 72.
