What prompted this was Stella McNichol’s note on the text to Mrs Dalloway where she names the locations of the MSS material and says “It remains unpublished, but was transcribed in full, from photocopies kindly supplied by the libraries in question, by the present editor some years ago.” It’s always useful to compare different transcripts of the same manuscript material in case one transcriber was able to read something that another transcriber missed.

At the time there was quite a heated exchange between her and John Hulcoop in the VW Miscellany (an invaluable historical record!), and the story of those stories continued with the publication of the 'Mrs Dalloway Reader' later. I assume anything she transcribed re the novel drafts informed her notes for the Penguin edition.
