Splendid. 195 files is the right number, I messed up something with my script and it didn't remove all duplicates, should have just used a text editor.

There are 2 full duplicate images (I guess Imgur didn't check duplicates back then) and 18 visually identical ones which makes final unique image count 175. As for file timestamps, did you have these files as a folder or they were already timestamped like this inside the zip archive? According to earliest IA snapshot all image links were already redirecting to "removed image" placeholder in December 2016:

Unless of course the album existed intact much longer and IA removed images retroactively if they're in some kind of agreement with imgur. I know they immediately bork all old snapshots based on robots file, which could be exploited by rogue domain squatters even without any legal abuse report - sad shit.

Meanwhile I picked up a really fucking old mega link today, slightly older than one we're talking about:

And it still fucking works!
118 files, discarding visual duplicates, original filenames on some of them, what is left are: 4 videos - all posted in previous threads here, a photo of a totem, 2 timestamp pics - the come to my tavern edit, another one, original - we meet again /b/, and a crop-out of a photo which still exists on imgur.
