Many thanks to Jeff Hunt, Geoff Chester and Alphonse Pouplier
for identifying the third satellite as 60- 7C(00047 Transit 2A R).

I agree with Jeff: to have three satellites within roughly 50-60 km
of each other is really amazing.

This, of course, begs the inevitable question: will there ever be
a random collision of satellites in orbit?
