The 2nd picture in my original post is only ~20 seconds game-time before the following picture, I find it highly unlikely it could have drifted that far in 20 seconds.
In regards to using the ANT engine, my satellites were equipped with Dawn electrical engines, which as far as I know have the lowest thrust.
Thank you though Stone Blue for showing me that chart of orbit tolerances. Although 30 seconds was just an estimate as I could not remember off the top of my head, now having checked: sat 1 is 0.2 seconds off, sat 3 is 0.07 seconds off, sat 2 is 1.7 seconds off (guess ill fix that one now).
