I have found the answer to this question by looking back at the original files BEFORE I started changing them. Thank you anyway for taking the time to look at this question.
As a matter of interest they were in the same format it was ME changing the files that caused them not to be the same any more.

here is an example of how I would like to be able to have the individual name index formatted
thanks Greg
