While I do agree that the LR has differant breakes, it's not only that which shows a higher break temp indication.

MFD INDICATIONS
1 - BRAKE TEMPERATURE INDICATION

- The scale ranges from 0 to 500°C.
- The scale and pointer are green when temperature is below
200°C, and amber when equal or greater than 200°C.

NOTE: For EMB-145 airplanes equipped with LR brakes, the scale and
pointer are green when temperature is below 250°C, and
amber when equal or greater than 250°C.

So on the ER's, the amber starts at 200 and on the LR at 250. What the captain is doing is technique. I personally do not spool the TR if the runway is long in length, the temp outside is cold, and I don't have a quick turn.

Take Care.
