According to the 5.58 patch notes from the Lodestone website

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...e8849372cb139e

The following items will now appear in a treasure chest allotted to each party of an alliance when undertaking the Tower at Paradigm's Breach:
Stuffed Android Units
Modern Aesthetics - Battle-ready Bobs
Modern Aesthetics - Scanning for Style
Smaller Stubby
9S Automaton
2B Card
The Sound of the End Orchestrion Roll
Mourning Orchestrion Roll
Emil (Despair) Orchestrion Roll
Kainé (Final Fantasy Main Theme Version) Orchestrion Roll
The Sound of the End: 8bit Orchestrion Roll

The details of the above 5.58 patch notes are inconsistent with the loot details of the previous YoRHa Dark Apocalypse Alliance Raids from the 5.5 patch notes. Here are the patch 5.5 notes from the Lodestone website

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...f19687dc11883/

The following items will now appear in a treasure chest allotted to each party of an alliance when undertaking the Copied Factory:
No.2 Type B Materiel Storage Crate
Pod 054
Pod 316
9S Card
City Ruins (Rays of Light) Orchestrion Roll
Alien Manifestation Orchestrion Roll
Song of the Ancients (Atonement) Orchestrion Roll
Bipolar Nightmare Orchestrion Roll
Weight of the World (Prelude Version) Orchestrion Roll

The following items will now appear in a treasure chest allotted to each party of an alliance when undertaking the Puppets' Bunker:
2B Automaton
2P Automaton
2P Card
Fortress of Lies Orchestrion Roll
Grandma (Destruction) Orchestrion Roll
End of the Unknown Orchestrion Roll
Torn from the Heavens／The Dark Colossus Destroys All (Medley Version) Orchestrion Roll

Since the release of patch 5.5, the drop rate of minions Pod 054 and Pod 316 from "The Copied Factory", along with the 2P Automaton, and 2B Automaton from "The Puppets' Bunker" are always seen in their respective loot lists of their respective alliance raids.

However, only one of the minions from "The Tower at Paradigm's Breach" appear between either the Smaller Stubby or 9S Automaton. These two minions do not follow the above rules of the minions that appear from "The Copied Factory" and "The Puppets' Bunker", even after the patch notes specify the exact wording of how they will appear from the loot lists and will be distributed among the players.
