Answer 1

In my case, the data was correct however not read properly by meshlab due to locale settings. Once restarted the program using LC_ALL=C meshlab, the ply finally loaded. Version 2016.12.

Answer 2

As shown in your ply file:

element vertex 259200

and

element face 516960

It means your ply file contains data of 259200 vertices and 516960 faces. However, your ply file does not have those much data. So the MeshLab would show errors " Unespected eof".

You need to confirm that your ply file has as much data as you describe.
