The slide with those landing sites shows two boxes and two sets of coordinates. They don't match up exactly. It's not clear which is correct. Most likely the written coordinates are correct and the drawn boxes were only approximate.

CTX now has essentially global coverage.

Thank you Phil. Do keep me honest!

The boxes from my kmz are drawn with the coordinates, themselves marked as approximate, shown in the slide. The boxes seen in the slide appear to be smaller than the GE file ones.
GE's CTX map does not have complete coverage, it is obvious. I have come across many CTX images not included in GE's "CTX global map" while searching for polygonal ridges for a Zooniverse project. Glad you confirm CTX coverage is now nearly complete. Cheers
