The Paulicians were misrepresented as dualists, but this could simply be the Roman Catholic interpretation of their distinction between the humanity and deity of Christ. The histories written about the Paulicians are not conclusive. The resources you cite and are looking to are not conclusive. The only thing that can be conclusive as to their teaching is their own statement of faith, "
The Key of Truth". Let's take a look at that and see if they were indeed dualist.

I know the resources I cited are not conclusive. I found it interesting to note the different views held by the writers that gave their 'slant' on what the Paulinians believed. The wiki article is almost quoted word for word in a number of other writings I checked out. Perhaps Wiki got their version from an encyclopedie.
I should get a the book, The Key of Truth, in a week.
