Thanks for your response.  

M-x locate-library finds all three libraries in ~/.emacs.d/src/org/lisp/

This is the Git work tree.

This path is at the beginning of load-path, before paths to the org
version that comes with Emacs.

I did 'make autoloads' and now org-version gives something familiar:

Org-mode version 7.8.10 (release_7.8.10-568-gc84cda @
/Users/dk/.emacs.d/src/org/lisp/)

Thanks again for your help.

All the best,
Tom
