Yes, you are correct.  It makes no sense to have an upturn as that
would be the same glyph as the first medial form.  You can see that
the second initial form and the second medial form both have the same
glyph with no upturn (ignore the dot, that is a printing artefact) in
Prof. Choijinzhab's "Mongolian Encoding":
