(1) Is qualified in accordance with the second-in-command requirements of
§ 61.55, and occupies a
crewmember station in an
aircraft that requires more than one pilot by the
aircraft's type certificate;
Is the aircraft bunk a crew station? Does the aircraft type require someone to be in that bunk with an augmented crew in order to operate that aircraft.
I'll state for a final time, check with the company that you are interviewing with if that is how they want you to report your flight time. It's far better to know up front what they are looking for than to give them the impression that you are trying to pad you flight time in order to get an interview. It may never come up, but if it does and it is where you really want to end your career, you may have just ended your chances with that company before you ever started.
Your arguing one needs to comply with (1) and (2). Looking at other regs, I believe if that were the case there would and an “and” after (1) and (2), and not an “or” like there is after (2). The way I read it, either one of the three items under 61.51 (f) satisfies the requirements for logging SIC time.
