I'm trying to place where your third pic is in relation to the first one.

Here is an image I took at the time, plate solved to identify some landmarks. 35mm film (Ektachrome 800) with 210mm telephoto from Canterbury in 1987.
Field of view about 2.5x1.7 degrees.

I had to reduce the image it to fit the size limitations of the forum. The Tarantula is obvious, to its left is NGC2077 and bottom left is NGC2048
SN1987A sticks out a bit.

Edit:
Just worked out your FOV is approx 1.3 x 0.9 degrees so I can see where the blow-up comes from and yes, I think you've got it too
