Depending on how long ago the bad copy was done, you may be able to restore the original modules via the PDS command (or successor). This should be possible unless LPALIB has been compressed. Even if it was compressed, you could try reloading a full-volume copy made before that event.
Once you have an uncompressed copy of LPALIB, use PDS RESTORE to find and display old deleted/replaced members. You will have to choose the correct versions by eyeballing data within the modules. The reason you cannot SMPE RESTORE the PTF is that some pieces needed to rebuild the module(s) were actually deleted during the APPLY/ACCEPT. There is usually a HOLD record to that effect--type DELETE--when such a PTF is installed. Given the messages you've reported, I don't think that SMPE alone can get you back to the point you need. For the future, I suggest creating usermods for modifications to SMPE-managed elements. A usermod on principle is APPLied but never ACCEPTed. . .
