NFS III history slides show up black

I'm in the process of making the history slides for my 2012 Hyundai Azera for NFS III.  When I try to put them into the game as hazra.qfs file, it lets me click on the history button from the menu... but the screen shows up black.  See attached.

If i rename the file to hamd7.qfs and then view the history of the aston martin DB7... all my slides show up fine.  So that leads me to believe that there's another file somewhere that i need to modify.  I swear I saw a forum somewhere with someone having this issue but i cannot find it to save my life.

Also on a side note, i figured out that cardese.bnk contains the narration audio for the stats slides and mandese.bnk contains the narration audio for the history slides.  Is there any way to open these and modify them?  I know that NFS Wizard can open/extract/import BNK files but only up to a certain size.  These cardese.bnk and mandese.bnk files are over 1 megabyte.  NFS Wizard crashes when trying to open them.

I know I'll probably just figure this problem out myself again but if anyone has any hints or tips or suggestions or anything... I'll definitely take it!  I've already looked through all 150+ pages of threads at NFScars.net in the car editing section... and now I guess I'll go through all 150+ pages of the projects section of that same website.  I've already gone through most of the forums here and couldn't find anything.

I've also seen references to a showcase tutorial by SID in multiple forums.  But all the links are dead.  Anyone know where i can view this tutorial?

Okay so I figured it out.  The last 2 digits for the name of each slide/mask has to correspond to the year that is mentioned in the FEDATA.ENG history section.  See the attached images.  In my case, if none of the history descriptions mention the number 86... then slide BK86/MK86 will never be shown.  None of my slides were showing up because I started from the hcorv.qfs history file which had the slide names BK56/MK56, BK63/MK63, BK68/MK68, BK84/MK84, BK90/MK90, BK97/MK97.  And from what you can see from Capture2.PNG, the years i have mentioned are 1986, 1992, 1999, 2006, 2012, and 2016 which don't match up with any of the slide names.  So the names of my slides need to be BK86/MK86, BK92/MK92, BK99/MK99, BK06/MK06, BK12/MK12, BK16/MK16 in order to be shown in the game.
