62S-62X-55: Entering and hitting twice inside is clear. With the fourth 5, according to your XG (3-ply) 10k RO, covering the 3pt beats covering the 1pt by .011. This margin closely agrees with your very old Snowie-3 (no live cube) 32k RO's margin of .010. (Your Snowie-3 trunc had the other play winning by .011.)
32S-65R-55: Your XG 10k RO has A winning by .018. My Snowie-4 trunc had the same play winning, but by only .005.
43S-65R-55 (diagrammed below): Your XG 5k RO has E (10pt + 1pt) beating P (5pt) by only .018, and A (3pt + 1pt) by .063. Your old 324-trial Snowie-3 trunc had E beating P and A by .050 and .083, respectively. That trunc with big margins seems to have been your sole data reference when you wrote your fine 1994 article, The Naked Ace Point), later mentioned in my intro to Backgammon Openings, and we never bothered to get higher quality data (until now).

I like E (Each), which by oversimplified definition means "Each inner board." In your inner board, then, 6/1*(2) is half the play. For the other half of the play, Opp's inner board is actually extended to the entire far side (except for U/V), so that indicates 15/10 for one 5, and then 10/5 for the other 5 because there's no checker closer to Opp's inner board.
An assumptive approach might be numeral "0" (final destination 10pt) or "p" (alt point), making 6/1*(2) obvious for the other two 5s. However, I prefer a character that doesn't require assumption, when one is reasonably available, as E is here.
