If extension was applied for using FLR HSMP Tier 1 form and / or as per old HSMP rules under HSMP JR and granted as per old rules, then 9G.
If extension was applied for and granted under Tier 1 rules, then 9L.

We dont know which form was used for extension application but I just checked the HO approval letter. It says that as the application is considered and approved under extension criteria which was in place before 5th Dec 2006 (because of high court ruling).

Am i right in understanding that section 9G is relevant in this case?

Yes.
