Update. Running the VALIDATE (option 5) from BOOT_OPTIONS reports the 
following...

Validate EFI Boot Options list:   Timeout = 10 secs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1   OpenVMS Recovered Disk PKA0.5000-00E0-186C-1142            -fl 0,0
          DKA800 PCI(0|1|1|0) Sas(500000E0186C1142,Lun0)
          efi$bcfg: Invalid MBR/GPT on Disk.

So the image restore doesn't set the boot sectors correctly??
