Is there an error in this TAF example from FAA Remote Pilot Study Guide?

I'm working through the study guide ahead of my part 107 exam in a few days.

I am puzzled by this TAF example, in particular the section in the explanation that refers to "wind from 150 at 12 knots... visibility greater than 6 SM... broken clouds at 9,000 feet..."

I have color coded all the various elements of the TAF and located their corresponding explanations, however, nowhere in the TAF is there any mention of "15012KT" or "BKN090" and the three instances of "P6SM" are accounted for elsewhere in the TAF so there's on of those missing from the TAF as well.

Can anyone confirm that I am right here and the example in the FAA's own study guide is wrong?

Hoping I'm not going crazy with my revising!

Mike

In my test a few years ago, there was only one question re: decoding TAFs. BTW, Your color coding would be very helpful as a teaching aid for many. Good luck with your exam.
 
I pointed out this mistake to the FAA almost 3 yrs ago, I guess they still haven't fixed it in the study materials. 🤷‍♂️
