I have not looked into those Gerbers, but if you load (any) Gerber files into KiCad’s Gerber viewer, then you can backport them to the PCB Editor to recreate the PCB (or a part of it). For more details:

Reverse engineering KiCad project from Gerber files

The goal of this reverse-engineering tutorial is to re-create a complete KiCad project from partial information assuming the only information available is a schematic in some readable, (but not EDA form, such as a .pdf or a .png picture), and a set of gerber files. The Gerber files will create a PCB with much PCB information missing, however, using this method is easier than re-designing a PCB from scratch, and can also be extended to any other program that creates Gerber files.
