    O.K., now this is just pure conjecture and educated guessing, etc....
    
    C is probably the main rocket (or the main rocket that made it to space
    for a short while), as it has already decayed.
    
    Either A or D could theoretically be the main payload, since the orbital
    periods match the intended orbit.  I think it's A, as usually the primary
    payload is named A.  According to my crude calculations, A and D are
    separated by 7 seconds or so.  Maybe D was the last rocket stage.
    
    B looks like a rocket stage that will decay soon, if it hasn't done so
    already.
    
    I'm not sure what E is.
