Yes I have already read this and I know why perhaps there was a "Festive 31" but the question, is where were the missing 19 songs that rocklist claimed were not broadcast, published ? Were they published on the NME or made up (I'm talking about the so called 19 that were not played) ?

At the bottom of the 1997 Festive Fifty on wiki, there is a quote from the footnote:

↑   The Festive Fifty, Nevin Publishing, 2005, p. 46. Mark adds, reasonably, "Even if it hadn't been (possible to broadcast a proper Festive Fifty)...could we not at least have been told what records were between numbers 32 and 50?"

But rocklist have mentioned the artists from numbers 50 to 32. Where did they get those from ? Also the Festive Fifty book claims that there was no information on who was in from number 50 to 32, so who is right ?
