2 people found this helpfulDear Mr. Yapp,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub.
We compared the scans from “The Unwriiten Record” blog post with the scanned items in the National Archives Catalog and they appear to be all there plus a few more in the file unit titled Plans for the Battleship USS Oklahoma (BB-37) which is part of the series titled Alphabetical Series of Ship Engineering Drawings, 1919 - 1940 in Record Group 19, Records of the Bureau of Ships, 1940-1966.
We have checked the Catalog and could not find the scan of “Turing’s Treatise on the ENIGMA” attached to the file unit in the RG 457 series titled Historic Cryptographic Records, 1949 - 1981. We are working with the Processing staff to have it added to the Catalog.
We hope this information is helpful and thank you for your comments!

Hmm. I'm seeing 12 images appear for that ARC search, and while I do see some that are similar I'm not seeing exact matches (in particular, the images I see in the catalog all appear to have the label USS OKLAHOMA along the top of the image, and none of the blog scans seem to.) It may be that they're redundant in terms of technical content with the drawings already there - I'll have to do a more detailed examination to tell. My apologies if I'm raising a point already considered.

Awesome - thank you!
