Well, that actually makes me really wonder about the validity of these tests, or what they really mean.
IMO, you can't compare 4/3, APS-C or FF directly, just like you can't FF, MF and LF, even if they share, to a degree, the same lenses. AFAIAC, it is at best a technical sensor comparison, which takes actual picture taking completely out of the equation.
Kind regards, Wim

Another point of attention is that when a manufacturer applies any kind of NR to the RAW data, they will always score higher, as it simulates a higher dynamic range. All that is left of that in the DXOmark data is curves with angles.
Take the DXO ratings with a grain of salt, and be careful with interpreting the data.
