BIP44: Derive P2SH Addresses from mnemonic phrase

I am trying to generate a P2SH payment address from a mnemonic phrase, using the below command.
echo "naive friend purse visual holiday era island provide emerge convince next hazard problem mirror typical" \
| bx mnemonic-to-seed \ # Step_0: Generate the seed from the mnemonic string
| bx hd-new -v 77428856 \ # Step_1: Generate the master private key
| bx hd-private -d -i 49 \ # Step_2: Purpose node
| bx hd-private -d -i 0 \ # Step_3: Coin node
| bx hd-private -d -i 0 \ # Step_4: Account node
| bx hd-private -i 0 \ # Step_5: External/internal node - private
| bx hd-to-public -v 77429938 \ # Step_6: External/internal node - public
| bx hd-public -i 0 -p 77429938 \ # Step_7: Generate child index 0
| bx hd-to-ec -p 77429938 \ # Step_8: Convert the extended public key to it's Elliptic Curve public key equivalent
| bx ec-to-address -v 5 # Step_9: Generate P2SH payment address
Validating the generated results with this site, we can observe that:
- The generated intermediate results match perfectly up-to the point were we are generating the EC public key (
Step_8
) - There is a mismatch at the very last step (
Step_9
) when converting from EC public key to P2SH address
Can someone explain the reason behind the said mismatch and how can I correctly generate P2SH payment address, please?

ec-to-address does not generate a P2SH address. See script-to-address.
