The original poster of this had it wrong, he stated night vfr for the cross country, you have it correct below.. Yes, it must be dual. I was rejected from my private checkride in similar circumstances, plenty of long solo night but had to do a dual night 2hr flight and reschedule the ride. I did it under IFR, which was deemed acceptable but commented to be not in the spirit of what was required when I did it for my cpl requirements.
Any hours queries, get them run past the dpe before you get near the ride, nothing worse for all concerned if you are rejected to enter the checkride, especially when its a commercial, you are expected to be right on top of the CFR
