I thought not. BUT once restored and reboot from the iMac, I get a
login window on which none of what I remember as our names/passwords
work!
Any ideas on how I can fix that?

What I did was: boot from the FW drive; run Carbon Copy Cloner,
choosing the FW drive as source and the internal HD as target, and
making sure "Make bootable" was checked in preferences; get some lunch
while ~30GB of files copied; choose the internal drive as startup
disk; restart. There was my familiar desktop, with login items, user
preferences, keychains, cookies, email filters etc all present and
correct.
I ran software update (I run 10.3.9) just in case there'd been any
security updates, and copied some recent files from my other Mac, and
that was that.
In your case, I'd hang on to the folder with the recovered files, just
in case there's anything in there that's newer than the full backup
you made. But you shouldn't have any problems just cloning the clone
back to your iMac.
