In INMARSAT's regional configuration, which designation is paired with 64.5° E as IOR?

Inmarsat assigns regional designations to specific orbital slots by longitude, so each region has its own central longitude reference. The longitude 64.5° E is the orbital slot used for the Indian Ocean Region. That means when you see 64.5° E paired with IOR, it designates the Indian Ocean Region rather than the Atlantic or Pacific regions. The other region labels (AOR-E, AOR-W, POR) correspond to different longitudes and oceans, not 64.5° E. So the pairing with 64.5° E that indicates the Indian Ocean Region is IOR.
