It appears that the coloring matches, but the material texture itself doesn't. He proabably did a color overlay with the original but used a different texture for the material (hence the marble-y scratches). The panels he carved out himself (though not "by hand" in the manual editing sense). So no, it's not a "blur and filter" job in the traditional sense at all, meaning Monty's accusation doesn't make sense.
To explicitly state it: I'm not saying the texture is God's gift to the high-res texture world or anything. It's getting better, but could still use improvement because detail is low, the material still looks a bit dull, and contrast is very low all around. The trouble is when one starts complaining about stuff the guy didn't actually do instead of pointing out what could be improved.
[EDIT] I think I'm probably being overly pedantic about this. What I was really trying to say is "Shut it and let the guy do his work". He may improve, so who knows?
