I'm thinking that you should make the origin "N" for
manual-already-analyzed and be sure to make a note somewhere
as to why the rows are in there.  The "somewhere" could be
in DEMOG for one of the endpoint days.  This is an item for
the procedure manual I'd think.  (We can always take both
the rows and the note in the manual out if/when we go
back and enter the real census data.)
