Filesystem with python3_12, but /var/db,cache with python3_13

Just as I was celebrating the last python upgrade has been a breeze, a disk failed on one PC in the most inopportune moment. The / directory was on the SSD disk which failed. The /var/db, /var/cache and /var/log are on a
different (spinning) disk.
I restored / from a backup which was 5 weeks old, excluding /var/db, /var/ cache and /var/log - I didn't have a backup of these. Consequently, there's
an incongruity in what portage thinks is installed - a day old update status - and what is actually installed - 5 weeks old packages.
I tried to run an update @world, but it failed as some package versions were missing/incompatible. I tried to force python3_13 following the python
upgrade guide, but may have ended up making things worse. What is the best
way to bring this system up to date?
