Mission booklet:

Thanks for that link, Chris! I found it informative.

I notice that this mission booklet doesn't give the parking orbit heights - usually the Delta mission books have a few more details than this.

This GPS satellite is going directly to its operational orbit.

--- CHAS

There are coast phases between each of the stage 2 burns.
I am guessing the orbits for those phases are around 185 x 200 km x 32.0 deg and 250 x 20460 km x 37 deg, but it would be nice to get real values to reconstruct the profile.
