Looks like it :)

I /think/ those fields are actually 'cooked' fields, derived from a 
combination of 'raw', stored, fields (among others, lensID, focal length as 
used and perhaps more) where the impossible matches for the lens ID are 
removed. To be really sure, I'd have to search through the code for exiftool 
and others like it...
