I don’t think so, as the experiment matrix I tried above involved rebuilding the module using the correct headers every time.

Updating sources to buster and pulling in kernel-image, kernel-headers, then restarting to 4.16 to recovery mode, uninstalling nvidia-driver and then reinstalling the nvidia-driver package seems to have worked…. However, this cannot be the orthodox approach to solve this…..

GTX 560 Ti, which is Fermi, which is indeed old — wikipedia says it’s going to legacy after 390 — is that where I may be getting in trouble?  Should I try nvidia-legacy in debian?
