Yes. They have been removed.

We identified and corrected an error in the labels that prevented 
display for some software.

These were bad files (problems with the observations). Each was 
identified by the observers at the time and duplicate observations were 
made. The corrupted files have been removed from the data set.

All have been corrected, except those in FITSINFO.ASC which was 
originally published elsewhere and is include here 'as is'.

Neither the P.I. nor any member of the team can provide a title. This 
data set was the result of a proposal to the U.K. Particle Physics and 
Astronomy Panel. Different forms and procedures than in the U.S. There 
may never have been a "title" for the proposal.
