I’m completely willing to believe that it’s bogus. But that said... it’s the southern coast (the Argentine coast) that really doesn’t match. It sees forced, even allowing for the usual longitudinal distortion. The features in the Piri map don’t really match up with the features in the coastline.
Has anybody done a similar feature matching for the Antarctic coast? Seems that would settle the matter.

But it does. The Argentine Valdes Peninsula and Puerto Madryn under it are an obvious feature along the bottom.
Valdes Pen. Further to the right along the bottom, the coast follows the curvature around the Gulf of San Jorge to the point of land at Puerto Deseado in the bottom right corner. That is more than enough, given the quality of early cartography, to be conclusive.
