Does that sound right?

As a fictional example of a prisoner's dilemma, it sounds fine. Solutions are the same as all PDs: out-of-game enforcement (social norms or the like), superrationality, repeated interactions and tit-for-tat, or accept the equilibrium.

Does that sound right?

As a description of actual choices made by individuals, no. Your assumptions and your reward scoring are nowhere near reasonable.
