Sounds about right, but I'm no expert in this "back of book" material, so maybe someone else can chime in with some comments.
I would note that in the more modern illustration posted above, the Form 3582A reads: "Equivalent postage is attached to this and the necessary follow sheets that form a part of the bill."
