I do not think it is helpful to discuss such minor points. It is clear
enough that OA mandates refer to the scholarly output (in the field of
science and arts/humanities) of an institution. Mandates are
self-obligations, not legal texts.

I cannot find that "final version" is'nt clear. If the "version of
record" can be used it can be deposited - otherwise  only the "final
draft" (version after peer review if a peer review was performed). So
there is no doubt that this is an Green OA approach.
