I was about to pass this off as a joke.
But looking at the linked site, I am certain that they are right. The 'fa' and 'Zhong' tiles are linked with the square tile which represents the target used in the official military examination, and the different flowers are the "gentlemanly flowers" (君子花) which were used to denote ranks in the official examinations.
Thanks for bringing this curiosity to our attention.
