Why? If you had already done a RECEIVE then the proper thing to do was
an APPLY CHECK, not another RECEIVE, and certainly not a RECEIVE with
modified MCS. It would have better to reorder the tapes and in the
meantime find out why the old tapes were thrown out and to ensure that
it didn't happen again.

It happened because you changed things that you didn't understand. In
this case it was crucial to distinguish between object libraries and
load libraries. I won't say never edit the MCS of a function, but when
you must do so, do it with fear and trembling.
