Yes, misrepresentation to court by statement under oath amounts to perjury subject to it's proved.
Making false statements before the court is perjury. In your case, false/contradictory statements were made about the documents which were filed on record. So as per my opinion, these are contradictions you can take benefits of the statements made.
