Yes and no. Yes for the text itself, not necessarily for the words we're
looking at.

There are no really good manuscripts. They differ widely from each other
and sometimes from what Seifer haManhig or the Avudraham say R' Amram
held. And the older, Sepharadi versions of the text often are adulterated
with the scribe's native nusach. Whereas we know that Ashkenaz accepted
more of the SRAG when trying to standardize its nusach.

Tir'u baTov!
