Their resource forks have been stripped and moved/stored in a separate folder. Unless that's something Matt did??

Not anything I moved. Where is it normally? OS9 did do forking with most files, as I understand, but I didn't move to Mac until 10.4, I think.

in the header of the file AFAIK. That's why I think these files have hit an OS/ formatting other than HFS/Mac.

Maybe try and reach out to Rail.

You can use Soundhack to rewrite the resource fork for SDII files. It's the last item on this page: http://www.soundhack.com/freeware/

You need to know the original bit depth and rate of the session. Then you'll just be reading headerless (raw) files and rewriting (overwriting) them as SDII. Tedious, but it works. As always, make a good backup of what you have before proceeding. Documentation is included in the download.

I still have a G4 with 9 and tiger on it. I'll do it if no one else can.

Already tried various versions of with SH. Couldn't get anything that wasn't noise.

Usually nothing but noise is an incorrect bit depth. Did you try 16?
