Your theory about the cats sounds like it could be good. I once bought a V6 Rover 75 Tourer with a blown up engine (knowingly), and quite a while after the engine change, it wouldn't rev over 2500 rpm ! Almost totally blocked cat. No warning lights oddly enough.

Good to know your well on your way to sorting out the problems and then enjoy the car.
Regarding the plugs maybe someone has a secondhand engine harness, this should have all those plugs, just a thought.
