May have stumbled across a way to find some factor records for trivial cases using only e and d (or at the very least confirmed an avenue worth exploring).
Pics attached are annotated matrix views showing side by side -f and e columns for c85, c145, c287, and c459. All records are included for c85 and c145, while only matching factor records are shown for the others.
In (e,1), we know that f = (x+n)(x+n), or sqrt(f) = x+n. And because n=1, x can always be expressed in terms of f as x = sqrt(f) - 1.
These small number test cases seem to indicate that there is a relationship between records where a record lower in the column can be found at d = sqrt(f).
For the c145 example where the starting x+n = 72, a corresponding record in (e,1) with the same x+n is found at {1:1:2592:71:2521:2665}. At this record, f = 5184 and sqrt(f) = 72.
Lower down in (e,1), we find the record {1:1:72:11:61:85} where d = 72, the same value as the previous record's sqrt(f). The resulting (x+n)(x+n) from this record is then used to solve the problem.
For c85, however, this jumping by d = sqrt(f) requires an extra iteration.
Starting at {-15:1:874:41:833:917}, f=1764, we calculate the lower d value as sqrt(1764) = 42 and jump down to {-15:1:42:9:33:53}, f=100. If a solution isn't found, we repeat the calculation for the next lower d as sqrt(100) = 10, and jump down to {-15:1:10:5:5:17}, f=36.
For c287 - similar to c145 - a solution can be found in a single calculation using d = sqrt(f) where f is the (x+n)(x+n) from the starting 1,c record.
And for c459, this method finds 3 out of the 4 factor records. d value jumps from 26229 -229 -> 21.
