It looks like its a mashed form of the standard decimal Lat Lons.

Assuming your conversion is correct:
Replace the letter with a decimal point.
If S or W place a - before the first set of digits for that coordinate.
Swap the pair of coordinates around, so the northing is first, as is
more common.

Gpsbabel is not suitable for this, it only deals with file formats,
not coordinate formats.

004E4800,47N2000 => 47.2, 4.48
002W2300,57N0000 => 57.0, -2.23
