I noticed a few typos in my last post. The most significant being that the differences in sat distances should have been divided by (t2-t1). On further reflection and trying a few different scenarios on my constant speed course calculator I’ve deduced the following.
If the radar data does not absolutely preclude a more north-western starting point(this matches the BFO) data better, then you need to proceed south for the next 4 ping rings at about 450 kts. The curious thing is that you can set a slightly north easterly course fo the last ping ring and it does not seem to affect the BTO values. I now think that the more northerly starting point and the interesting fact that you can turn to the northeast on the last ping ring is why my results obtained from not assuming a plane sppeed appears to suggest a route roughly returning to KLIA."

BFO/BTO was also a typo
