I've often wondered about this, so having done a bit of digging, I think the OP is probably right. This from the Guardian guide:

spelled or spelt?
spelled is the past tense, spelt is the past participle; she spelled it out for him: “the word is spelt like this”

But this sort of implies you can use either https://writingexplained.org/spelt-or-spelled-difference

The may be a grain of truth in that.

You have really wiped the flour with my argument here.
