The v2 pack-file _also_ has per-object CRC's, and those are indeed just 4 bytes each, and are correctly listed as such. The pack-file itself also has a few more things there, it's not just the "PACK" string and then the objects. It has two more 32-bit words: a pack file version number and the number of entries in the pack-file (all network byte order). It also has its own checksum at the end (20-byte SHA1 again). But looks good otherwise from a quick look.
