The yellow sticker is close to actual usage but is usually a bit conservative (allows for users with more access events and higher ambients). When doing the conversions to 12V, take into account the loss of efficiency of the inverter. Not all inverters are the same. Some say the constant denominator should be "10" but the newer inverters are slightly more efficient. Wiring has a role in this and I'd suggest to use the largest possible wire gauges throughout. The possible savings of using smaller wire will be surpassed by usage in short order.
I use a smaller 120V fridge so my numbers won't be applicable to yours. I have a smaller 12V power system too.
