Yet, again as I am simply a product of the UGLE, this opinion could be because of how English Freemasonry is structured and promoted, with the UGLE only acknowledging the four ceremonies of EA, FC, MM and HRA. All other Masonic Orders are managed by the Grand Lodge of Mark Masons. It is these Orders that I would, humbly, encourage a Brother to investigate at a speed and desire suitable for them.

I would just like to clarify or correct that this particular statement within your post is completely wrong. A lot of the other Orders in Freemasonry are managed by MMH, however there are still several others that are totally independent!

According to my Craft Provincial Yearbook, the Operatives are administered from Eaton Socon, near St Neots, Cambridgeshire

Quite true, especially of the "history" issuing from 18th century Masonry.
In my view there is much that needs to be read outside Masonry if one is to recognise its components.
I found Sumerian and Egyptian legends to be most valuable.
Legenda: the things that ought to be read.

I knew of the usual suspects and joined Mark this year and was not really looking for anything else until I have been through the chair in Craft which is a few years away yet but I have to admit my I'm looking at things differently now.

I am aware of certain Masonic writers who support the Egyptian influence/direction, of our Craft, and have argued well the Ennie, Meanie, Minie, Mo concept of information being passed down.
Again, apologies.

Hence my questions are, how can we be sure which Egyptian story is valid? How did it become part of our rituals?...
