Since asked, I'm prepared to say today that we might take the Jubilee (2024) view that pan-Africa has since been subsumed under South Africa, pan-Arabia under Russia, and Japan under New Zealand, allowing BRICS to be the left foot and FVEY the right foot (introducing Australia and Canada). It's at least more up-to-date. Newspaper exegesis might then invite the idea that the three fallen horns become Australia-Mideast, Japan-New-Zealand, and maybe Canada, and that's an excellent reason for not believing in it.
