You are correct on both counts, which is why the Church has known the BoA is a fraud since a critique from Egyptologists was published in the New York Times back in 1912. For me, Facsimile 3 is the most important since it includes more than just "explanations". Instead, it provides the translation for specific characters: "King Pharaoh, whose name is given in the characters above his head", "Prince of Pharaoh, King of Egypt, as written above the hand", and "Shulem, one of the king's principal waiters, as represented by the characters above his hand."
Robert Ritner provides a full analysis and *real* translation of Facsimile 3:

Taken from a Signature Books page:
Robert K. Ritner, Professor of Egyptology at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, has published over 100 books and articles on Egyptian religion, magic, medicine, language, and literature, as well as social and political history.
