Polsen:
In general I prefer an actual field test like a race for setting zones because it is a true measure of your performance. Marathon pace will be a bit above AeT typically. I could see your AeT being in the high 160s-170. The 1/2 marathon HR is probably close to your AnT given that you ran it in 1:15. So maybe high 170s-180. Something that jumps out to me is the disparity between you 1/2 and full marathon times. That might indicate that you are slowing in the longer race due to local muscular fatigue in the propelling muscles. The remedy can be doing some muscular endurance work. For a road runner this can be done using hill work.
I hope this helps,
Scott
