I was doing a job lot and came across a Chrome Silver torso for a Stormtrooper.
While researching this minifigure I realized that the under (inside) color was
white. There is also a Chrome Silver C-3P0 minifigure with the under (inside)
color of Light Bluish Gray. The legs for both figures are listed as the same
piece, but the under (inside) color is different. White for the Stormtrooper
and Light Bluish Gray for the C-3P0 so shouldn't they be listed as a separate
piece? I would really be disappointed if I bought a pair of Chrome Silver legs
with white inside color when my C-3P0 figure's inside color is Light bluish
Gray.

Can someone please fix this?

Chromed parts with same chrome color but different base color are not distinguished
in the catalog and we are not planning to change that. Besides that, it seems
both figures came with both base colors, see https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1264297

If you really need a specific base color I'd suggest to ask the seller in
advance to check which color(s) they have.

+1

And I suppose that with the Additional notes space still occupied with
educating folks on the Monochrome Leg rules, this product detailed can’t/shouldn’t
be placed there?

Can notes even be added to color-specific listing pages within the Monochrome
Leg category?

Color me monochrome clueless

No - there is only 1 additional notes field per catalog entry.
