I think that’s right. .95 conversion rate to TNT.
I suspect a lot of it was dispersed and didn’t blow up.
It also looked like a strangely slow explosion.
I’ve seen my share of true HE explosions, and the wave is much faster.

Isn’t ammonium nitrate considered a ‘low explosive’?
“It also looked like a strangely slow explosion.”
That’s how fertilizer goes when used as explosive. Much lower velocity and works really well as a lifting type charge. Like in open pit mining where they use it taking down sections of wall. Works very well rather than the shattering effect of the super vigh velocity HE.
