OK, I think (with Göran's help) I've working out a methodology.

OK, you've got a MC from the past.

Select it from the Repository window (for our project) and hit the
'History' button, we will refer to this as the 'project' MC.  Also in
the Monticello Browser window select the matching MC in the left pane
that represents the current version in the image, we will refer this as
the 'official' MC.  Comparing those find the latest version in the
history of the official MC that is also in the history of the project
MC.

In the history list for the project MC select that common ancestor.
Right click and choose to 'view changes' from the selected version to
the project version.  That should show you the intended changes which
should be a small list and you can install these individually.

At that point you can save the MC producing a MC relative to the current
image with the appropriate changes.  Then you can go on to the next one,
and so on.
