#1 The ducks are starting to line up nicely.

#2 I did not catch this article the first time. It does indeed sounds like a psy-op however your explanation of grey operations is a little wrong.

the only difference between the "color coding" (for lack of a better term) of psy-op is actually in relation to the attribution to the source.

white is when the product is attributed by the actual source. (such as having a little US army logo on the bottom of a leaflet or something else that would indicate who is putting it out).

Grey is when there is not indications either way.

and Black is when the source is misrepresented. Such as creating a memorandum or propaganda peice that is designed to look like it was created and legitimized by the opposing force.

though you are right, this is technically a grey operations it does kinda lean on the black side. it all depends on how you want to look at it.

and just like everything else, there are varying shades of grey to this.

I will like to say this as well, US army psyop (which uses commando solo)on that level usually sucks. this tikrit stations hits me as a bit more of a well put together idea than what we normally see from military psy-op. HOWEVER, they are not the only organization that does that kind of thing.
