Two mistakes here(?)
a. LM 4.3 or 4.9?
b. 1 Leonid or 2 Perseids?

Following your detailed data below, it seemed that you saw one Leonid with
1st mag.? But i'm puzzled what's *MAG  (1-5)* mean. It looks like for
velocity estimate instead of brightness. Why the apparent magnitude of
meteors can be limited within the range 1st to 5th mag.?
:-)

Kind regards,
Huan
