Thankyou very much, HymnsomniaK!
(BTW, I am not sure that the disks actually contain the SADDAM virus; they may just have some virus-damaged data blocks.)
In the meantime, I have discovered that the Office disk images dumped by DMS 1.11 and DiskRipper 1.52 are different in the range of offsets $0E800-$107FF (Disk Blocks 116-131 ($74-$83) or CHS 05,0,06 to 05,1,10), with the DiskRipper data being the better. (The problem with the DMS image was likely triggered by a flaky bit in bad Disk Block 116.)
It is almost certain that importing Disk Blocks 117-131 ($75-$83) from the DiskRipper image is the key to fixing the filesystem errors on the Office disk. Disk Block 116 will remain damaged, of course, but this block is marked -=[BAD SECTOR]=- throughout in the DiskRipper image.
