Fields look consistent with description in the VMDK 5.X doc and used that struct as referene(hacked patch attached for reference
)
First pass at Header:
gdb) p/x header
$1 = {version = 0x3, flags = 0x30001, capacity = 0x400000, granularity = 0x80, desc_offset = 0x1,
  desc_size = 0x1, num_gtes_per_gte = 0x200, rgd_offset = 0x0, gd_offset = 0xffffffffffffffff,
  grain_offset = 0x80, uncleanshutdown = 0x0, singlendlinechar = 0xa, nonendlinechar = 0x20,
  doublendlinechar1 = 0xd, doublendlinechar2 = 0xa, compressAlgorithm = 0x1, pad = {
    0x0 <repeats 433 times>}}

Now the footer:
(gdb) p/x header
$2 = {version = 0x3, flags = 0x30001, capacity = 0x400000, granularity = 0x80, desc_offset = 0x1,
  desc_size = 0x1, num_gtes_per_gte = 0x200, rgd_offset = 0x0, gd_offset = 0x68304,
  grain_offset = 0x80, uncleanshutdown = 0x0, singlendlinechar = 0xa, nonendlinechar = 0x20,
  doublendlinechar1 = 0xd, doublendlinechar2 = 0xa, compressAlgorithm = 0x1, pad = {
    0x0 <repeats 433 times>}}
