Update: unit bitmaps missing in campaign folders

In the process of updating my Frankencounter for Older Eyes Mod I found a possible oversight.
Two folders in the location below appear incomplete.

D:\Strategic Command WWII - War in the Pacific\Campaigns\_1944 Imphal and Kohima

Axis Minor [3d and nato sprites present]
Major_06 [nato sprites missing]
Major_07 [3d and nato sprites present]
Major_10 [3d sprites missing]
Update: A more rigorous examination of the campaign folders found the following:

1937 Marco Polo to Ph.........Axis Minor All 4
1939 Khalkhin Gol..............Axis Minor All 4
1941 Day of Infamy.............Axis Minor All 4, Allied Minor 3D only
1942 Summer of Decision.....Axis Minor All 4, Allied Minor 3D only
1942-43 Solomons..............Allied Minor Nato error <see pic> Major_03 Nato only, Major_10 Nato only
1944 Imphal and Kohima......Axis Minor All 4, Major_06 3D only, Major _07 All 4, Major_10 Nato only
1944 The Marianas.............Major_03 Nato only, Major_10 Nato only
1945 August Storm.............Axis Minor All 4, Allied Minor All 4
1945 Iwo Jima..................Major_03 Nato only, Major_10 Nato only
1945 Okinawa..................Major_03 Nato only, Major_10 Nato only
1945 Operation Olympic......Major_01, 03 & 09 Nato only. Major_10 & Allied Minor All 4.
1946 Operation Coronet......Same as Operation Olympic

Is this working as intended or should these folders contain both sets of bitmaps?

1942-43 Solomons Campaign\Bitmaps\Allied_Minor\unit _sprites_nato is actually a 3d unit bitmap with a solid white background.

It should be that only the counters that had to be modified for the campaign are contained within the campaign's own structure, otherwise the default are used, when required.

So if any necessarily adjusted bitmaps are missing, please let us know, but otherwise all should be as needed, e.g. Majors 6 and 10 aren't present in Imphal-Kohima, so no special files would be needed for them.
