Mass Effect 1 PS3 .pdf manual references XBox controller buttons

I just bought the Mass Effect trilogy for the PS3.  Went online to get the ME1 manual.  Found the download site.  Selected the PS3 manual.  Downloaded just fine.  UNFORTUNATELY on page 2 where it shows what each controller button does, the diagrams and descriptions are NOT for the PS3...they're for an XBox.  So I went back and downloaded all three manuals (XBox, PS3, and PC).  NONE of them have PS3 buttons listed.

I searched the web for 15 minutes and had no luck finding a PS3 controller layout.  Even saw a post in this message board for someone asking that the PS3 controller layout be published.  A few people clicked "Me Too".  Guess it didn't matter...it was ignored.

So at the risk of ALSO being ignored, I'll ask again.  Could someone please provide a PS3 controller layout, or maybe even scanned images of a proper PS3 ME1 manual (specifically the pages referencing what button does what)?

Thanks in advance.

    There's an in-game manual in ME1 that covers different aspects of the game. It might help but I don't remember if there was a specific controls section when I last played it. You can access it from the Extras section on the main menu or from the pause menu during the game. EA should fix the online manual as well though, no reason not to have a working online manual like the other platforms.
