Confusion about 93- 30 F and G

From the Satellite Situation Report:

                                                                    RCS
22651 93-030F  COSMOS 2250          USSR   114.0  82.6  1420  1401  9.006
22652 93-030G  SL-14 R/B            USSR   114.0  82.6  1417  1404  0.962
This is noted in the current WG status report, but there is a ? after the comment. I think you could remove the "?". The F rocket is currently about 45 seconds ahead of the G payload.

Of course the drag of .00000191 and the Bstar of 10000-2 are much too high, but it's only a few seconds.
