Thanks! Well spotted!
Post on reddit
First suspicious elements in the raw data:
There are only 2 servers which contain capital letters in the data:
91247 - contains B on the 6th line.
40144 - contains A on the 3rd line.

Server IDs and Backup IDs correctly identified. Best connection values for each server required for decryption. Continue to post findings on this thread. Additional feedback on progress will be provided at a later time.
The links are to images posted here as well. Confirming the pairing.

The biggest difference in bytes (packet loss?) is the “5th” pair.
88014 - 55197
141 - 133
They also have the highest total character count difference at 5
Nicely done! So, what are we looking at here? Are the Blue Highlighted blocks the ‘best’?

Highest data transfer, simply put
All round, the best connections

Okay, applying this to the given instructions. Hmmm.

Just looked, I have 10/10. All mines there guys. Should I recheck?
Over on the NMS Reddit, there was a post by Satcom-70.
The keywords that stand out…
“Best connection values for each server required for decryption.”
It is likely another way of saying that we need to find which country has the best speed/ping and utilize that as a “decryption key” to find the answer.

That makes sense. @Tezu just provided a spread sheet that I think should go on the Reddit thread.
Edit: According to that spreadsheet S. America has the most servers with the best connection.
So here goes - based on current data
U/D/P
31422 - Australia - 41/75/2
91247 - North America - 31/66/12
11986 - South America - 32/63/4
46724 - South America - 26/48/25
85671 - UK - 51/97/3
88014 - Australia - 51/88/9
73195 - North America - 35/66/4
40144 - South America - 24/48/22
55197 - Australia - 27/55/6
60206 - South America - 29/64/8

4 regions. 10 data sets
There’s definitely an inbalance of gobal ‘best’ connections.
Australia: 3
N. America: 2
S. America: 4
UK: 1
As @Argent-Star pointed out. I see where there could be a possible typo in the value sets given. Maybe we should focus on upload speeds.
Edited: for clarity

Maybe they are being sly, and we just need the actual numbers of the best value in each category.
From my post above. I’m not really sure how useful this is. I was trying to see which servers had activity spikes compared to each other.
Updated highlighting server pair suggestions.
I like 85671 as my suspicious candidate, needing further analysis.
Are we just needing to analyse more forensically a single server?
LOOP16 from Reddit Thread says:
“Once you have identified a server that has been potentially compromised, it must be reported in the reddit thread with the number of the server and the suspicious element on the server.”
EDIT: This post has been updated 2018/07/06 02:45am so is similar in content as later posts by @Tezu It was kindly explained the numbers are variations of speed NOT an amount of data download. It remains useful I guess to have a colourful server comparison.

Can anyone else Confirm (or Correct) my Tentative Findings thus:
First, “divide” the world into 4 Major Continents.
East to West:
APAC = Asia-Pacific (Japan up N to Oz & NZ down S)
EMEA = Europe, Middle East, & Africa
N.Am. = Canada + United States
S. Am. = … South America. 
Potential Locations for Servers:
PRIMARY SERVERS:
(1) 31422 = APAC (EMEA 2nd-fastest overall Up/Dn/Ping)
(2) 91247 = N.Am. ((EMEA slightly faster D/L speed))
(3) 11986 = S.Am.
x(4) 67240 = (Inconclusive; APAC has “Best” Ping, “Average” data speeds)
(6) 88014 = APAC ((EMEA has much better Ping: 3, vs 9))
BACKUP SERVERS: (in “paired” order)
(5) 85671 = EMEA
(7) 73195 = N.Am.
(10) 60206 = S.Am.
x(8) 40144 = (Inconclusive; APAC+S.Am. both Avg. speeds, Poor pings…)
(9) 55197 = APAC ((EMEA Ping: 3, vs 6; N.Am. D/L: 59, vs 55))

So far, this contrib from @SingularGleam (via @hilightnotes on Reddit?) has been MOST useful…

Here’s an updated image:
So, let me “break it down”, then.
FASTEST Up/Dn/Ping figures by Server, noting probable location:
(1) 31422 :: 41/75/2 :: APAC
(2) 91247 :: 31/66/2 :: N.Am. – noting EMEA’s D/L speed is +1 at 67 (vs 66)
(3) 11986 :: 32/63/4 :: S.Am.
(4) 67240 :: 26/48/25 :: S.Am. (Fastest Up/Dn; Slowest Ping!)
… alternate: 17/31/9 :: APAC (Fastest Ping; Slowest Up/Dn!)
(5) 85671 :: 51/97/3 :: EMEA
(6) 88014 :: 51/88/9 :: APAC – note EMEA’s Ping is -6(!) at 3 (vs 9)
(7) 73195 :: 35/66/4 :: N.Am.
(8) 41044 :: this one’s a STUPID one, and should be reported on the basis of its STUPID Upload / Download / Ping figures itself… +grumbles+
… BEST U/L speed: APAC @ 27 Mbps; 2nd S.Am. @ 25 (“Best” range)
… BEST D/L speed: S.Am. @ 48 Mbps; 2nd APAC @ 47 (upper “Average” range)
… BEST PING time: N.Am. @ 12; 2nd best EMEA @ 17 (“Average” range)
==> I’m still going with #8 (and poss #4) differing greatly from the other servers…
(((Besides which, after allocating 1 Server Pair to each Global Division, we have 1 Server Pair “left over”, being #4 & #8…)))
(9) 55197 :: 28/55/6 :: APAC – note EMEA’s Ping is -3 at 3 (vs 6)
(10) 60206: 29/64/8 : S.Am.
So:
CLEAR-CUT, No-Doubt, FASTEST Server connections:
(1) 31422, (3) 11986, (5) 85671, (7) 73195, (10) 60206
==> We “should” take their top speed values and try to decipher the data.
Recommend STRIPPING any Periods, Colon, Capital letter for comparison, too.
Only 1 Value 2nd-Fastest:
(2) 91247, (6) 88014, (9) 55197
==> So whadda we do wid dese wise guys?!?
Inconclusive??
(4) 67240
Even More Inconclusive…
(8) 41044 — the one with the most 4s in its designation… of course…
