I found that it's possible to download an account's Web Archives list as a json file, for example: https://archive.org/download/@brewster/@brewster_web-archive...

User accounts have other json files such as _mylists.json, but they are access-restricted and cannot be downloaded, unfortunately.

That's seems to be an index, but there's no content? How does it map to content? For example, how can I see the tweet or website from those points in time?

That's good! I can confirm that this JSON does not exist for the deleted account, so it would need restoring from their backup.
