Arrow Messerschmitt Regensburg Bf 109G-14's colours

I recently ran across this in a book and was wondering how accurate it was:

"Messerschmitt-Regensburg built Bf 109G-14s from blocks 165xxx–166xxx wore standard camouflage consisting of RLM 74/75/76, identical to Bf 109G-6s built in the same production block. Aircraft from blocks 780xxx–782xxx wore similar camouflage, but on later machines RLM 74 was often replaced by RLM 82 Dunkelgrün. The uppersurfaces of the wings and tailplane, as well as the fuselage spine were painted RLM 74 (or 82) and 75; fuselage sides and underside RLM 76. The lower edge of the fuselage camouflage formed a wavy, more or less blurred line, generally parallel to the upper fuselage outline. One or both camouflage colours were applied to the fuselage sides and fin in irregular, rather large blotches. The spinner was black or RLM 70 Schwarzgrün. The lower surfaces of the wings and tailplane were painted in RLM 76."

if anybody can confirm this it would be most helpful. Reason I ask is becouse I have seen many colour profiles of the same plane during the same time period with two vastly different colour schemes.
