My apologies - I've just tested here (with Slurm 17.11.7) and you are indeed 
correct, they only appear when launched with sbatch and salloc and not when 
you launch jobs directly with srun!

Also you only ever get ${SLURM_MEM_PER_CPU} *or* ${SLURM_MEM_PER_NODE} but not 
both together, so you'll need to check for both.

Hope this helps!

All the best,
Chris
