Might even be to do with how they uploaded it to the 'NHS system'. Later versions of Excel require different drivers so it may be whatever software they used to upload the Excel files only supported xls.
It's all very weird. I am still not clear on if there was a Master cell sheet or they were simply loading a csv into a excel and the excel sheet loaded into a database.
