I pre-ordered an Album. iTunes won't download 2 album version of songs with the album (more)

The singles versions came out a few months earlier when I bought them, which put them into separate "Album" folders. Don't recall if it was a Complete My Album scenario but still...

You can edit a song's properties on a computer's iTunes via 'get-info' so that they match the rest of the album.

I even deleted the music, and it doesn't acknowledge the missing songs for the album purchase. It prompted me to re-download the singles versions but not the entire Album I pre-ordered.

To re-download an album (if you've paid for the album ; you weren't charged when you pre-ordered it, iTunes only charges for items on their release) : Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books from the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books - Apple Support

The two songs are greyed out for the same options like the other songs of the Album screen on the iTunes site on my iTunes client (desktop PC).

Don't know what that's supposed to mean.

Apologies - The LP is spelled "Chronologic"

But will the system recognize and categorize them with the album? Seems it needs some underlying serial number or file ID to be associated with that.

Yes, as long as you make their details match e.g. album name - I've sometimes combined tracks into a single album just by editing their details via 'get-info' in iTunes (command-I on a Mac, control-I on a PC).

Re the part you don't understand. See below our 2 first selections?

To re-download them (assuming you haven't hidden them : Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books - Apple Support) see the link in my first reply.
