Theses are absolutely "Apply to DYS" numbers. Have the psychologist who tested your child both compute the GAI and use the extended scoring, and the numbers should come out high enough to qualify with no additional portfolio support.We could compute them here, but they would need to be in the full report that you send to DYS anyway, so it is best to go ahead and have the psych do this.

Any idea why "information" was substituted for "comprehension"? Was an autism spectrum disorder suspected? ('Comprehension' is primarily social comprehension, and is often much lower than other verbal scores in people on the autism spectrum, so if this was suspected, the tester might have chosen a different subtest to avoid depressing the intellectual functioning scores.) You don't have to share this if you don't want to, but substitution like this is not usual unless there are some obvious circumstances that suggest it would be needed.
