Here's a definition I did awhile back that might help. It uses the LunchBox plugin, so if you don't have it installed, you'll want to get it before opening this.

The most important thing to note is that the surface is reparameterized so that the Image sampler X and Y domain can be left at 0.0 To 1.0. If you didn't do this, you'd have to manually set the X and Y to whatever the U and V domains are for your surface.

And here is your definition, simplified and mostly working. I used a different image, but just swap it back to yours. Note that you should use an image that encompasses the entire circumference of your panels.
