Those +towgs84 parameters convert Datum73 to WGS84 with errors of the order
of 1 meter. I have a datum shift grid file to convert from Datum 73 to
ETRS89 available on the address:

You can convert ETRS89 long-lat to projected Datum73 with the follwoing
command line (errors in general smaller than 10 cm) :

cs2cs +init=epsg:4258 +towgs84=0,0,0 +to +init=epsg:27492
+nadgrids=pt73_e89.gsb


The WGS84 coordinates of your test point are not very accurate.
