I'll take a stab at your interesting problem.
The coincidence is that Pearl Harbor lies approximately on the calculated Line of Position of the Sun.
I calculate the Magnetic Bearing back to Pearl Harbor to be 340° M.
Although I did not take a stab at the hav Doniol Sight reduction, I did use the traditional Haversine method with a copy of Norie's with the ABC tables for azimuth.
Cheers,
Doug
