Hugh, I see no contradiction between the SHAEF generalization and the information in the German/US officer biographies. The SHAEF manual states that only Berlin, Wien and Hamburg were large enough to have Polizeigruppen. Each city indeed had a number of Gruppen. Berlin had the ones you mention:North, South, East, West and Central. These are listed in Hsi-Wang's (sic) book on Weimar Berlin Police, along with the Abschitte and Revier I believe.
