I think this analysis is correct, and acknowledge that it may be
confusing. Therefore it is important to check what you get after running
grompp, using the gmxdump program. This applies for anything but the
standard pdb2gmx-generated topologies. So:
gmxdump -s topol.tpr | more
and then search for "idef" which is the structure holding the C6 and C12
parameters.
