So headerLen is at an offset of 0, and irpId is at an offset of 2, right?

Exactly.

      o irpId is merely a pointer to IRP casted to the UINT64
I.e., it's an 64-bit cookie whose bits have no particular significance, given that, within a file, there's nothing 
for it to point to.

Yes. It is provided so it could be used to pair the requests with
responses in analysis software.

      o transfer determines the transfer type and thus the header type. See below for details.
      o dataLength specifies the total length of transfer data to follow directly after the header.
Transfer-specific headers

Presumably the "transfer-specific header" follows the USBPCAP_BUFFER_PACKET_HEADER in the packet data, with the 
transfer data following the transfer-specific header.

Actually, all transfer-specific headers inherit the base packet header.

But yes, first there is the USBPCAP_BUFFER_PACKET_HEADER, then (if
any) the transfer-specific header members not contained in
USBPCAP_BUFFER_PACKET_HEADER, and then the transfer data.
