That is correct.  The uncensused individuals were manually interpolated on paper, and then that census day was entered as a regular, complete census.  So this would show up as a true census for all individuals in the group in Census/Members - there is no indication in Babase that the presence/absence was interpolated for the uncensused individuals.  No status Ms were involved.

Let me know if anything else needs clarifying.
