Ok.

Apologies.  What I meant was that the authors could have referenced the 
appropriate section of RFc 9382 instead of repeating the values.  Let me 
tell you all what fun it was to compare several long strings of numbers ;-)

As to this:

I believe RFC 9383 is correct, and is how NIST refers to the curves.

Also, as an aside, I hope it got corrected in production, but 9282 had 
"Table Table 1" in Section 6 of 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/internet-drafts/draft-irtf-cfrg-spake2-26.txt.
