Well, I only have one small piece of advice. When I see terms like "fight" and "stick to my guns" I get the sense that your approach to this problem may be a little too aggressive. I know it's subtle, but there's a difference in approaching a problem to resolve it, vs. fighting it.
I would calmly put forth your strongest points (one of which is the alleged necessity of bringing in these old grades you never expected to see again) in an efficient email to whomever is next highest on the advisory food chain. I wouldn't even elude to the problems or BS explanations you've already received specifically. I would just say that there seems to be some confusion and I would like your help resolving this in a way that will work for both of us. This is likely beyond the skill level of the rank and file but I would bet that there is someone there that can make this all go away. Good luck.
