Troubleshooting • Duplicate Debian Bookworm RasPi Won't Boot - UUID Doesn't Exist

After configuring a complete raspian bookworm 12.7 on a 128 GB SanDisk extreme I attempted to duplicate that on an essentially duplicate SanDisk ultra 128 GB using Macrium reflect to create a bit copy of both the P1 and P2 partitions.
The duplicate copy would not boot producing an error reporting PARTUUID=08b92fe6-02 does not exist.
I found helpful info at viewtopic.php?t=105868

I restarted my Pi 4 with the original, and entered the command cat /etc/fstab producing the following:

PARTUUID=08b92fe6-01/boot/firmwarevfatdefaults
PARTUUID=08b92fe6-02/ext4defaults,noatime
# a swapfile is not a swap partition,no line here
# use dphys-swapfile swap[on|off]for that

Then using the topic info created an updated comdline.txt on the duplicate as follows:
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait init=/bin/bash

The init=/bin/bash had to be added to prevent the locked console error.
Anyway - that allowed me to boot to Debian. Running cat /etc/fstab produced the exact same report as above. I even tried changing the cmdline link from
console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=08b92fe6-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles cfg80211.ieee80211_regdom=US
to
PARTUUID=08b92fe6-01 instead of the original -02 and still nothing.

Any Thoughts ??
