Therefore is it correct to assume that these 3 oxygens will be of OM type and not two of OA and one of OM as PRODRG suggested (it did not add any hydrogens to these atoms).

Yes and OA should be OS (if that still exists in that force field,
otherwise OA may be correct). Shouldn't one of the oxygens be
