Default Commercial certificate question

Yup, the night before my commercial checkride, I had to do a dual night
crosscountry with an instructor`.

I think I know the answer to this, but would like a second opinion. Does
FAR 61.129 (a)(3) (iii) and (iv) really require an instructor ride along
on these two long VFR flights? I have over 600 hours TT and an
instrument rating and plan to obtain my commercial certificate. however,
in reviewing my logbook, I don't have any dual cross countries of this
length during either the day or night. I find it hard to believe I need
to cart along an instructor for this, but it seems to read as though
these flights must be "training" flights.

Any instructors able to confirm if I'm reading this correctly?
