TAKP attack values are derived empirically from PoP era and later aren't they? Is the claim that attack values/formulas went relatively untouched and they just played with defense?

Exactly. Based on this quote from Kavhok in this archived thread it looks like they only tinkered with defense:

AC functions the same way in all zones. Some old NPCs may have lower attack than new ones, but the formulas for combat do not change.
The AC formulas were changed a short while before PoP shipped. Perhaps that was confused as a content change in PoP. However, the Avatar of War does less damage to a warrior with 1800 AC than one with 1300 AC just the way that Bertox does. It doesn't matter that he's "old content" - his attack is still fairly high.

TAKP's ATK values are derived from early PoP.
