Note B
At that time Jupiter was 1 cubit behind
Remember the last time At that time was used? It was translated to refer to something that was visible at the time of Moon set.
On this day in 567 BC "at that time" Jupiter was well below the horizon. It became visible at 3:15am.
In 588 BC where the observer is using an alias for Mars, it can be seen "at that time" as you would expect it to mean.
Note C
"the elbow of"

The word kiṣru could be referring to a section of a constellation rather than the elbow specifically.
Note D
Sagittarius [ ... ]
Does the tablet say Sagittarius? Below is a picture of the end of line 5, followed by the other two occurrences of the NE symbol on the tablet

The purple arrow shows a mark which could have been left by a vertical wedge, it is not expected to be there if the symbol was BIL Note: The horizontal wedge that appears lower is part of the symbol below. |

The red arrow on the two other occurrences show what appears to be missing on the end of line 5 to make it read 
(BIL).
It could be the start of the name mulSIBA.ZI.AN.NA
This can refer to the Pleiades (P. Felix Gössman; Planetarium Babylonicum (1950) pg 130-131) which is above Mars on the day indicated on the dairy in 587 BC
