And more importantly the original EPSG code is also missing in ESRI WKT.

You have to override the source SRS with -s_srs EPSG:XXXX if you know the code. 
One could 
potentially improve the situation by trying to match the .prj CRS name with the 
entries in the 
EPSG database to try recovering which code the ESRI WKT corresponds too (if 
there's a 
match)
