For L=ψˉ​(i∂−S+iPγ5)ψ, with real scalar backgrounds S,P, the Dirac equation is (i∂−S+iPγ5)ψ=0 and the adjoint Dirac equation is i(∂μ​ψˉ​)γμ+Sψˉ​−iPψˉ​γ5=0. Use {γ5,γμ}=0 and (γ5)2=1 in the derivative of j5μ​=ψˉ​γμγ5ψ to obtain the displayed classical identity. Taking S=m+gϕ and P=GΦ includes both scalar and Hermitian pseudoscalar Yukawa couplings.
