Actually, it is possible to use Proj.4 to compute a local 3-parameter transformation from
your single test point, but I have no idea how accurate it would be for the rest of your data.
By assuming the same height above the ellipsoids for your test point, I get the 3-parameter
transform

    +towgs84=-144.47,-128.70,-288.68

which is tailor-made for your single test point, so:

 -49717.410    -2872274.540

 450273.23     7128571.66    0.00
