depth being shown right at and after the G49 Z0 M5.

That is a cancel of a tool length offset and it is followed a couple of
lines down with a G43 tool length offset. My tempation would be to strip
out all the G41, G42, G43, and G49 and just run the tool paths from tool
centerline and see what happens. You have enough to deal with already
without needing to learn all about offsets and how they are implemented
on each controller.
