Formationflyer - I have made a wee bit of progress re my situation in that I was in fact first issued with a JAR CPL(A)(R): the (R) denoting that I had to achieve certain criteria in order to be granted a "full" JAR CPL(A).
One criteria was to pass the JAR Exams. Another, the one I took as an FI(A) was to gain 700 hours TT.
Beagle & Whopity are answering my queries and I have pointed out your situation to them and to this Forum.
Good Luck, Mate.
