How to % bonuses stack from intel bulletins?

This is more for my curiosity than it is for actual gameplay, since 3% faster cooldown between shots probably translates to jack and shit when all's said and done, but I am always curious how some of these intel bulletins actually stack. So I fully understand that it doesn't actually matter at all.

So, let's say for example that I have two bulletins that give a KV-1 "extra armor".

Such as these two:

Thicker Skin -- "KV-1 has 4% increased defense": https://coh2db.com/bulletins/view/id/186/name/thicker-skin

and

Just a Scratch -- "Armor on KV-1 increased by 3%": https://coh2db.com/bulletins/view/id/207/name/just-a-scratch

So I am assuming these both mean the same thing (the armor value of the unit is increased by 3% and 4%).

My question is do the two multiply or are they additive?

Is it a total 7% bonus or is it actually 7.12%?

Again, I know this doesn't actually matter, at all, but I'm curious how these stack.

And finally does this logic work across the board or is it that some bulletins are an additive stack and others are multiplicative?

edit: just saw my typo in the title. Should be 'do'. Oh well =(

The majority of in game bonuses are x (with some exceptions). For the Kv-1 it should be x1.0712

Almost all bonuses are multiplicative. I remember that there are a few additive ones, but sadly I don't remember which one they are. In general it is pretty much safe to just assume multiplicative combination of bonuses.
