All these threads about a Home scorebook versus a visitors scorebook are confusing to me. There is ONE official scorebook, whether it's kept by someone from the home team, the visiting team, or some bum off the street. There is ONE official scorebook.
That being said, if a question arises regarding the correct score, you must go with what is in the ONE official scorebook. If the official has some direct knowledge that the official scorebook is wrong, he may make a correction. But if he has no reason to change it, and there is a discrepancy between what is on the board and what is on the scoreboard, then by rule, as stated in the OP, "the referee shall accept the progressive team totals of the official scorebook."
