I may have misunderstood this, but when I looked at them a long time
ago I recall that all these pages looked identical, so I think that I
assumed that they had simply been copied from another file, and were
waiting to be revised to suit the context. Apologies if I

Yes, I will probably do an SRU straight away and then a further one
later with translations.
