But the actual information about where to find them have the numbers backwards (so instead of 246b, for instance, it's 642b), and the treatise numbers (the roman numerals) are completely detached from their folios.

The reverse order of digits is caused by (invisible) directional marks.
To confirm this, copy some paragraphs from the NWP file where digits are reversed to a new file and run this expression in the 'Find what' field of PowerFind Pro; leave the 'Replace with' field empty, and press the Replace All button:

[\x{200E}\x{200F}\x{202A}-\x{202E}]+

This should restore the correct order of the digits by removing the directional marks.
