  Yes the databases (source and destination) are the same version.  I have checked 3 times.  Both are "Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (RTM-CU8-GDR) (KB4583459) - 15.0.4083.2 (X64)"

  The database itself restores ok without error.  Only when I try the read-only file group restore does it give the error.   I have redone the back up and attempted the restore again just in case I had something wrong with the backup.

  I have done the numerous times with ss 2016 and even when upgrading from ss2016 to ss2019.  But now I am testing the restores it just looks broken to me.  Almost like this is a  bug
