On checking the dashboard of my repeater this morning only ID numbers were being displayed, which has been normally a failure to update the first time correctly. However running the update this morning produced this log.

Any pointers?

This is first occasion that this has occurred.
However it has been running continuously for over two years on this RPI 3A+.
I tried a small tweak on the MMDVMHost yesterday on the offsets and the system would not return to the dashboard, lost it's repeater status, and generally went into a sulk, so I rebooted it and it returned to where it had been previously, without the tweaks. So I left it alone as it was otherwise working. Perhaps the SDCard is giving me an early warning.

That is certainly possible

Just to make it quite clear, that it was the operating system on the SDCard that had become corrupted, firstly preventing the nightly update from writing new data to the data files, then completely failing when I tried to make the adjustments to the card, the extent that attempting to reformat the card also failed, as it had become completely unwritable.

A new card was procured, formatted, written, installed and configured within an hour and everything is now fully operational. Thanks to the input from Andy - I'm well pleased.
