Progress
I have got the many *.nmconnection files moved to the F38 system into the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
Owned by root:root with chmod 600 as the ones already there.
When I look at the Edit Connections dialog in the Xfce panel network app, they are not listed.
What do I need to do (logout, restart, run some nifty app) to get them showing in edit connections.
Thanks

It wouldn't really matter if ownership wasn't maintained (likely that your USB stick doesn't use a Linux filesystem), you could just change the ownerships and permissions when write the file into your new system.
e.g. chown root:root path-and-name-of-your-files
And probably:
chmod rwxrwxr-- path-and-name-of-your-files
