I suspect so...

Yes.  Can you please send it to me together with my report? (I don't remember the problem any more...)

Mh.  Military style is 12:00 (or 12.00) for noon.  That's for sure.

I suppose that in am/pm style we have:
00:00 am midnight this day
11:59 am one minute to noon today
00:00 pm noon
11:59 pm one minute to midnight today

This would imply what is written in the paragraph you cited above.
