UPDATE 2:

All is now for the best in this best of all possible worlds, where every prospect pleases and only duff alternators are vile.

This morning I installed the recharged battery, cleaned/tightened the earth that runs from the battery negative terminal to the chassis and double checked that the alternator was fitted and connected correctly.

The good news is that the problem has been solved! The alternator is charging correctly and all the warning lights that should light up when the ignition is turned on do so and go out when the car is started (Diode problem?)

Thanks for all your assistance in this testing time. And thanks to the 700/900 FAQ :) :) :)
