no, was not able to properly solve the problem – so instead had to work around it, by downloading XDCAM Transfer which is for Final Cut Pro – but you can just use it convert the footage, which sorts out the audio. Annoyingly, PremierePro only saw the footage as black in the converted files, so i used that audio and matched it to the original video i could read… long way round, but it worked…

Did you manage to solve it?
