The suppressed carrier frequency (what the K3 display shows) is actually
what is expected as the ORG used in JT65. When you observe the Reverse
Beacon, it will list an offset, + or - from that ORG frequency.
That means, in a sense that the 'correct' way to describe a JT65-HF QSO
would be the ORG frequency, and if you wanted more accuracy, an offset to
that ORG. In other words, no other manipulation of the display frequency
is required. Any offset applied to the ORG or displayed rig frequency, in
an attempt to more accurately state where the tones really are, would mess
up the users of the Reverse Beacon.
(Now having said that, it is always fun to see the wildly different offsets
listed when a signal is copied by a few dozen stations -- I can always tell
who is running a K3 or other rig with decent master oscillator because the
offset frequencies will be the same within a Hertz or two.)
