  • · On the pitch scale at 15 deg nose down or 30 deg nose up to mark the pitch limits.”
The current FCOM DSC-31-40 P4/32 item (5) uses the words (my italics)

“The display shows these symbols (=) in green
  • · On the roll scale to mark the bank angle protection availability.
  • · On the pitch scale at 15 deg nose down or 30 deg nose up to mark the pitch limits.”

ok, let's have a look, to see if I make any sense and understood you correctly.

In the present wording, the reference to 67 bank "hard" limit is removed in lieu of explanation about B.A. prot. (my bolding in your quote above). No such re-phrase happened to the pitch article.

My FCOM has exactly the same wording as yours, under :
FCOM DSC-31-40 C INDICATIONS ON PFD, the bullet point #5 shows:

(5) Flight Control Protection Symbols
The display shows these symbols (=) in green:
• On the roll scale to mark the bank angle protection availability.
• On the pitch scale at 15 ° nose down or 30 ° nose up to mark the pitch limits.
An amber x replaces these symbols if the corresponding protection is lost.
(Refer to DSC-27-20-10-20 Protections - General)
Then I skip to DSC-27-20-10-30 B BANK ANGLE PROTECTION, the last sentence of the first paragraph says:[INDENT]If the pilot holds full lateral sidestick deflection, the bank angle goes to 67° and no further.
