Yeah, there are a bunch of sort-of "half simplified" characters to be found in Japanese, as well as a few that were created within Japan (畑 and 働 come to mind). If you're already literate in Chinese then the conversion won't be that hard, but there will be a few things to pick up. At any rate, the readings you provided for those characters appear valid to me.
