The only way they will have been revoked is if the licence number of the
foreign licence has changed. The 61.75 certificate refers to the foreign
certificate.
Many European licence numbers including the UK have changed as a result
of
the JAA changes. If the number has changed then the FAA 61.75 needs to
be re
issued. To do this, then one has to go through the verification process.

I did hear the same rumor at the time and did call the CAA in Gatwick to
find out (since my foreign license is British); there was no change in
numbers of licenses due to the JAA changes (the last change in licenses
numbers the nice lady I talked to was aware of was way older than that);
so this is definitely not the case.

what might happen however, is if someone holding a British (or other
JAA country) license did chose to exchange it for a JAR one, then the
number would have indeed changed (plus a number of annoying side effects,
such as having a license which now expires as opposed to the good ol'
PPL(A)
which was basically valid forever unless surrendered or revoked a bit like
the FAA certificates are; i.e., valid doesn't necessarily mean current,
but 61.75 only requires the foreign license to be valid, but I am
digressing
again here);

What happens is that if you have an old brown licence Pre 1994 and tell the
CAA you have moved or got a new rating, then you get a nice new white paper
bundle and the licence number is different based on the old medical
reference.

It sort of creeps up on you.
