Well, JRRT himself treats fictional 'Red Books' and such as history. So if the Red book was able to be translated by JRRT, then I find it acceptable to postulate that anything not finished by him, or left in disarray, is in disarray, as regards to fictional LEgendarium source documents.
Well, I suppose I'm unlikely to convince you of my point of view. But I remain firmly convinced that the specific series of texts left by Tolkien (in which can be seen the conscious development of a Legendarium) is quite unlike anything that might have naturally developed through the various translations, transcriptions, and retellings of the people of Middle-earth.

So, alas, I must continue to regard such a suggestion as fan fiction.
