Okay, I just got off the phone with my local (Cleveland) FSDO.
We spoke at length about 3rd class procedures for color-deficient applicants.
The gist of the situation is this: Whatever my AME said was wrong. The light gun test is still applicable, albeit with certain changes. He explains those during the phone call.
The audio of the call is listed below. He placed me on hold at the end of this and we were disconnected. I was not recording when he called back, but we only spoke for a few minutes. He stated on the 2nd call to simply go get my physical and my AME will request Oklahoma City to mail out the OCVTA application to do the light gun test.
