If this is so, then another way of writing it would be
-35+/- 1.0 = green
-33.5+/- 0.5 = red
-36.5+/- 0.5 =black
so it looks like the red or black are more closely matched (very closely matched) than the green? These tolerances don't really seem realistic for the price.
BTW, regarding the 67 vs B1 question, I have both, and I like the 67 much better for my voice. However, I have a very bland, boring and neutral timbre to my voice, and the 67 gives it at least a little pleasing color. The B1 seems a much more neutral mic, and does a good job of making my voice even more unexciting.
I asked Alan about this a while back. Here's how it went.

the Studio Projects C3 mic? Thanks again.
Alan Hyatt's reply
Well most manufacturers accept a +/- 2db sensitivity spec. The problem is, there can be a 4db difference between two mics. Even Neumann has this spec on many models.
One way I found to resolve the problem was to split the tested capsules into three sensitivity classes and code them with a color. For example, a capsule that has a spec of:
-35dB +/-1dB, is marked by a green dot on the packaging
-36~-37dB, is marked by a black dot on the packaging
-33~-34dB, is marked by a red dot on the packaging
This way to get a matched pair, you simply buy two mics with the same code or color dot on the outside of the packaging, and you are within 1dB.
As for the LSD-2, it is being done for you within a spec of 1/2 db, so they are about as close as you are going to get. I hope that helps.

And as Alan said, I hope this helps you. It did me. Oh, and I like the V67G also.
