​I'll trust it is, but I cannot really see any thing in there, it may be
better if in the future you used something like psql and pasted the data in
a text format, which people with no-so-good eyesight like me can zoom in.​

​It should be. For inserts it is not that difficult, for updates YMMV, it
is difficult to ​reverse a command exactly, but you get new and old values
so you could write it. For deletes just reinsert. But I doubt there is a
function which does it for you, you'll have to code something, and I
suspect it may be easier to just capture op, old and new in your triggers
and use an external program to build the inverted queries.
