Not sure that would have mattered for the reasons below.

You might want to take a look at the below:

In particular:

Short version WAL files are essential to restoring and on the originating server are recycled, subject to the configuration parameters explained here:

So the wal archiving you have set up is not storing everything, it removes older files over time?
