The pilot has not flown the 6 instrument approaches etc in the
immediately preceding 6 months so is out of currency with the FAA/IR.

As long as the pilot is not more than six months out of currency, he does
not need an IPC; he can become current again by flying six approaches and
detritus. If he is more than six months out of currency, then he would
need an IPC.

However the JAR/IR is still valid and in the next 2 months the pilot
flies 20 instrument approaches, dozens of holds , airways tracking, the
lot in fact all solo on his JAR/IR, does that activity all written up
nicely in the log book then make him current as far as the FAA is
concerned?

I would imagine so, unless there is some reason that flying on a JAR is
not loggable as per the FCC (for example, I believe police and military
flying does not count towards FCC requirements).

You probably meant 12 months out of currency since all you need is a safety
pilot in the 6 to 12 month period. After 12 months, IPC is required. FCC?
