On the second octave fingering chart for the open G# Flute and piccolo do you have the fingerings backwards for the Ab5 and G5, because I think that these are mixed up

Open G#, means that the G# pad is open when nothing is depressed, as opposed to a regular flute where the G# is only opened when you press the key. With that in mind, the G# would therefore be fingered without the key(the G# pad open) and the G natural would be fingered with the G# key pressed(The pad would then close). All the fingerings in the open G# flute use the key when normal flutes wouldn't.
