The play of @ (anchor, bar/22 24/22) seems so clear to me at all scores that I'm not sure what other comment to add. Sorry not to be more helpful.

Your Nactation is great. When the score differs from money (especially when it does so substantially) it is worth including it in the string. Below are examples that all mean the same thing:

    51S-42P-64P-41K-51H-32 at 2 away, 1 away, Crawford

For White's entering play (bar/20, bar/24*) with a roll of 51, there is only one legal play, and therefore any character will suffice as filler (>, U or H being the most logical), though (for the sake of brevity) it is becoming increasingly popular to omit it completely.

Some people still add a question mark at the end of a Nactation sequence. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is unnecessary.

In conclusion, I would typically write the string as it appears in my caption to the diagram above:

    51S-42P-64P-41K-51-32-g
