Note that these 3 kinetic energy terms are simply a partitioning of the summed kinetic energy of the 2 atoms themselves. I.e. total KE = -1/2 m1 v1^2 + 1/2 m2 v3^2 = engvib + engrot + engtrans, where v1,v2 +1/2 m1 v1^2 + 1/2 m2 v2^2 = engvib + engrot + engtrans, where v1,v2 are the magnitude of the velocities of the 2 atoms, without any adjustment for the COM velocity.
