In other cases, some pages seem to be missing from those online records. In either case, there is a solution that is not well known. All surviving Confederate CMSRs were digitized by Fold3
Gopher records is amazing! Astonishingly fast service, an easy on-line ordering system, reasonable pricing, and very attentive customer service.

Gopher Records has been amazing. Turnaround times are much quicker than those provided by NARA for the same records and the prices are less expensive too.
