Do you know the original physical memory ranges?
Can you cat /proc/iomem
on the source system (they shouldn't have changed). If so you can create a
padded memory image by concatenating the memory images you have and filling
in the gaps in the physical memory ranges with 0s.

Hi Joe:
Thanks very much for your response. Unfortunately I don't have the
option to use LIME to go back and capture the memory again. What I have
are several .dd files that were created using fmem, e.g., dump00.dd,
dump01.dd, and so on.
I used cat to combine all the .dd files into one, which now makes sense
as having been foolish. Although I did also try the profile against the
individual .dd files with the same result.
I'll go back and do it again to see what happens.. In the mean time any
other suggestions would be truly appreciated.

That's your problem. You took all the System RAM ranges
and concatenated them in such a way that volatility has no idea what the
ranges were so it's not going to work well for you. Try using LiME instead.
