So the system STILL has a record of their name SOMEWHERE.

Any way to restore this or even merge it if they return with a new ID?

Not exactly
What I'm talking about is if you click my name, you'll see my ID is 80028
Those guest post have no ID now, so there is no way to associate them to an account.
You would need to make a new account, then go into the database and assign those post to that new ID.
