Thanks Paul. I had forgotten about nasawash. But it did not help with these sets because it requires a valid checksum and these have no checksum byte at all. Of course adding an arbitrary byte for the checksum does not help.
How about one that reads in tle's without regard to checksums and creates AMSAT format. Then creates TLEs from the AMSAT format. Perhaps that would clean them up. . .
Or something that reads a TLE and creates a valid checksum'd output. . .

There’s still NASAWASH, which will do some of that.

The program could do more to fix spacing problems, but some of what you want is impossible or very difficult. The NASA format is pretty compact and doesn’t have a lot of redundancy that would make it easy for a program to figure out what was meant by some corrupted version.

Does anyone know of a program that will 'repair' tle's so they have the right format, spacings, checksums, etc. to assure they will read into various tracking programs?
