Got an old USB drive with a series of old Time Machine backups. The
drive shows on my desktop with the proper icon, First Aid says it is OK,
looking at it with Finder shows what I think is the correct format:

Backups.backupdb
Anton’s iMac
2016-01-07-142607
2016-01-14-103857
2016-01-29-142954
etc., and so forth for the rest of the year...

But I can't access them from the Time Machine program. Tried Browse
Other Time Machine Disks but this only lets me switch to using this disk
for current backups.

How can I get get access to some of the old backed up files?
