IMHO, Kevin's orbit is quite good.
It appears to agree with the (start) drop time and location.
But 4-5 minutes should be added to the Epoch, to account for acceleration
during launch.
And I read 37W on the map, but your orbit descends over the equator at
40W.

It will initially enter shadow SB at lat 34 S, exit while NB at 27 S.
