Ah, that discrepancy. Let me explain.
That ship was taken from the expansion pack of Star Wars: Empire at War. In that game, every ship's systems were shown as hardpoints. To keep things simple, they kept numbers of hardpoints relatively small.
However, they vastly underestimated weapon numbers this way. For example, an ISD only had 2 ion cannon hardpoints and 4 turbolaser hardpoints. I interpret each hardpoint as about a battery of weapons, to keep numbers consistent with canon information.
The ship was shown in the game to have 2 turbolaser hardpoints, which got entered into Wookiepedia, because there were no better canon sources of information.
Interpreting hardpoints as a battery, I get about 20 to 30 turbolasers. I then replaced the turbolasers with long-range turbolasers, and toned down the numbers to account for the power usage of the long-range versions.
Any more questions, feel free to ask.
