The first set is a good representation of the orbit of the Sputnik 1 booster over the first few days (as no BSTAR coefficient is given but ndot instead you could do a simple Keplarian calculation rather than the SGP4). The second set of elements is actually the orbit of Sputnik 2 (the payload remained attached to the booster in this case). Both sets are given with an epoch close to the actual launch of the respective satellites.
