Can I access data that seems to be stored in my local.* files

I badly need to access the replication op log after a serious data corruption that occurred while trying to copy databases on the same server.

I have the following 5 local files in the current db path.

64M local.0
128M local.1
2.0G local.2
2.0G local.3
2.0G local.4

When I acces the "local" db via the mongo shell and the according "oplog.rs" collection, I only see 3 entries. Prior to the crash, I had upwards of 600,000 entries and so am hoping they have been orphaned in the local.1 - local.4 files.

Is there any that I can verify whether these rows still exist and, if so, how might I access them?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
