I really don't know. Rolf, what are your sources for these names?
Chon-Kara (as it is spelled on the map - see Chris's message) is
indeed the same enclave as what you call Qalacha, but the
identification of Tashdobo as Khalmion is more problematic. It is
just a guess on my part.
Khalmion is a village in Kirgizia, just to the west of the enclave.
To the east, there is a village called Dzhany-Ayil. There is no named
feature in the enclave itself.
Chon-Kara is both the name of the enclave and of a Kirgiz village
nearby.
