Two things I would like to point out here, first the cargo holds you're introducing all have a base capacity that is at least 22% higher than the largest regular hauler with full expanders and racial skill to 5, with skills this differential goes up to 37%. This makes them the only viable option for that particular activity.
The activities for which you are adding these special ship roles are some of the most usual uses for T1 industrial ships, so you are effectively re-introducing the same imbalance we had before, and curiously enough the Gallente went from the best T1 industrial to the only T1 industrial skill worth using. Wanting to move Ore, PI or Minerals in anything other than Gallente industrials leaves you in an even worse situation than we have now where the Iteron V is only 26.5% better than the Bestower.
So much for rebalancing...

Gallente max capacity (t1 rigs): 38433m3
Amarr max capacity (t1 rigs): 39201m3
There is 2% difference. If you feel compelled to cross train because technically Amarr is at the top now, I think that's okay. The old gap looked like this:
Gallente: 38433m3
Minmatar: 28259m3
In the old scenario, 26.5% difference actually was enough that you were basically compelled to train one race.
I prefer the new version
So now for anyone moving Minerals, Ore or PI commodities (what else is worth moving in a T1 hauler?) the only choice is Gallente, not by a 26.5% difference, but a 75% difference. Yeah, I liked that newer version better too.
You wanted to introduce a little racial variety, but all you ended up doing was break the class even more than it was originally, give those specialized industrials a 10-15% extra capacity in their specialized cargo holds at max skill so not everyone feels obligated to train Gallente Industrial V. Or at least remove the hull bonus to the special cargo hold so that people who feel the need to cross train only need to train them to 1 to get the full benefit.
