Yes, I knew that, it's how I ended up with one 'new' panel and neither
of the original ones.  What I wanted to do was to see what was on the
original Top Panel in particular so I could copy/use it as a basis for
my new panel.

As you can see from elswehere in this thread I did get there in the
end.
