If under "official" NCPR content for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 you mean
the Red Hat 6 STIG Version 1, Release 9:
  [1] https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/ncp/repository/checklistDetail?id=438

then the answer is yes, this content is being derived from the latest
content for RHEL/6 product, as being available in SSG.

If under "official" content for RHEL-6 system you have meant also this
benchmark:
  [2] https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/ncp/repository/checklistDetail?id=491

I can't comment on that (don't have the information) which content is this 
benchmark
being based on (you would need to check with Oracle Linux 6 product vendor).

Yes (in the sense content in [1] is being gradually derived from the latest
code for RHEL/6 product as being available in SCAP Security Guide repository).

Yes. Check out the content of the 'kickstart' directory, included within
scap-security-guide RPM:

* Case a) -- this is the content of that directory with
  # rpm -q scap-security-guide
  scap-security-guide-0.1.21-3.el6.noarch

  # rpm -ql scap-security-guide | grep kickstart
  /usr/share/scap-security-guide/kickstart
  
/usr/share/scap-security-guide/kickstart/ssg-rhel6-usgcb-server-with-gui-ks.cfg

* Case b) -- this is the current content of that directory
  as present in SSG 'master':

  [3] 
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/tree/master/RHEL/6/kickstart

  the 'ssg-rhel6-stig-ks.cfg' corresponds to the content of [1] benchmark.

Hope this helps.

Thank you && Regards, Jan.
