Having worked as a technical writer for 25+ years I definitely agree this looks like a quick adaptation of the NC manual, or portions thereof. Some companies are very oriented toward excellent product documentation, while others seem to place documentation at the bottom of the list of things to do before a release. The last company I worked for, BMC Software, went so far as to outsource most of the Publications division to a company located near the eastern edge of the Alexandrian conquests, where English is a second language, and then they wondered why customers complained that their manuals sucked.

At any rate it is sloppy, especially the "background color" part.
