Lost access to bitcoins on paper wallets generated via bitaddress.org

HELP NEEDED

I have generated a bunch of BIP38 encrypted addresses with the tab "BULK WALLET" of bitaddress html under the same password on the machine that is not connected to the internet. Then I transferred some coins on the first 3 of them to run a test of sweeping them into electrum wallet.

I have decrypted all 3 wallets and used Private Keys (WIF51 characters base58, starts with a '5') to sweep them into Electrum. The first one swept well, but then the others would not sweep. Electrum says that they are empty. I tried importing them into blockchain.info wallet but it also says that they are empty.

When I check public address it shows that the wallet contains bitcoins
https://blockchain.info/address/19DpkXMi4oTfayjxfDSuz3uHUrsX387Twz

This same public address is displayed on "Wallet Details" tab in bitaddress.org when I decrypt private key.

PRIVATE ADRESS: [mod edit: private key removed]
PASSWORD: [mod edit: password removed]

I don't care if the coins will be moved away, but I really need to figure out how to get access to my wallet.

Can anyone help please?
