The N&L files aren't what I was expecting which was to follow the
examples of CouchDB or Solr.
There, they have one minimal entry for included material (name and
copyright line), and the full license in LICENSE. Nowadays that can be
a pointer (we trust the web infrastructure :-).
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps
1/ You have put in text now suggested by #permissive-deps
in NOTICE, rather than in LICENCE.
2/ I'm not sure about the inclusion of templates of license in
LICENSE.txt. The templates aren't a license. Each BSD or MIT license
is unique because it includes the name of the owner and the year(s)
(hence "BSD-class license"). Either you want to include the license, in
which case you should put in exactly what the owner has used (people use
different formatting) in LICENSE as do the example projects or it's
informational, in which case it should not be in NOTICE.
See
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/trunk/NOTICE
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/trunk/LICENSE
(they have chosen to include the license)

I'd prefer keeping the (short) notice to be safe.

OK but it's not what you've ended up with. The short notice is e.g.

and then their entry in LICENCE
