Hello Pete,
Navigate to the file in question then launch Time machine.
Use the Window chooser to select Time Machine Controls.
You should find the Previous button and to the right of that a vertical slider 
showing the date and time of each backup.
Interact with the slider and navigate to the version you want to restore.
Stop interacting and click the Restore button.
I’m using the latest version of Mojave so I can’t imagine why you’re not seeing 
the same controls as I am.
Cheers,

Anne
