The quasi-Poisson standard errors are the Poisson standard errors multiplied by $\sqrt{\hat{\varphi }}$, and the Pearson estimator divides the Pearson chi-squared statistic by the residual degrees of freedom $40-3=37$. Therefore the requested sum of squared Pearson residuals isup to the rounding in the printed standard errors.
