Issue converting an old CAA PPL to EASA PPL

I have a CAA PPL issued in 1992, but stopped flying from 1999 until a few weeks ago. I have recently undertaken refresher training and passed a proficiency test.

However, since I have an old CAA PPL there are no Certificates of Test or Certificates of Revalidation pages. The examiner has given me a copy of my Examiners Report showing I have passed, but technically it seems I can't exercise my CAA PPL privileges since there is no page in the license which can be stamped with the certificate.

Hence he has told me to simply apply now to the CAA to convert my CAA PPL to a new EASA one - no problem with me, I can wait until it's all gone through.

The problem is, the CAA's web page on conversion says they require "a certified copy of the Certificates of Test/Revalidation page of your current license".

Is there anyone out there who's come across this issue? Will they accept a certified copy of the Examiners report instead?

Thanks!
