The math would add up, but the correct translation of Mr. Yeager's story about the Great Titan War is "the Great Titan War eighty years ago". The translation referring to the "80-year-long Titan War" was actually a fan translation (I made the mistake of trusting it too :x). Based on the dates calculated from the info in Chapter 86 and 87, Mr. Yeager was rounding up from 72 years, whereas the Restorationists in the year 830 were rounding down from 87 years. In either case, "80 years ago" works.

Funny, I was thinking about Eren's dream earlier today too o_o. I'm still wondering whether that's going to be relevant again or if it was just a tone-setter.
