True, but the resemblance between ISO/Transport protocol and DoD's IP
is only 'generic'.  Specific details are very different.   BTW, the
ISO recommendation in a draft form was printed a year or two ago in
ACM Computer Communications newsletter, for anyone who wants to check
it out.  The final DIS (IS?) is probably slightly modified from that
draft.
