As the Captain of an augmented flight, can the captain log PIC time for the entirety of the flight?

I have applications in to the legacies and want to make sure I'm not setting myself up for failure. I'm an Airbus captain that fly's augmented OPs. In my logbook, I log PIC time for the entirety of the flight, since I'm the legal PIC for the flight and the one who signs for the airplane. Our company FOM only counts 2/3 flight time for anyone on an augmented flight though, including the Captain. The FARs however state that you are legally allowed to log all flight time on those operations.

This all came up after a recent convo with a coworker that's been stuck in my head. He said I should only be logging 2/3 of my time since I'm in the bunk for some of the flight. He said that if I get an interview that I'm then going to have incorrect logbooks with incorrect TPIC which could lead to issues. My argument was that as the PIC of the flight, the regs allow the Captain of the flight to log the entirety of the flight as PIC time. Neither FO while I'm on break is logging TPIC, which then leaves a portion of the flight where nobody would be logging TPIC.
