Greetings Dan:

"I didn't make myself clear with the last point: Do your think 30 years
accumulation of dust on the lander parts left behind is enough to make an
accurate calculation of what there should be for 10,000 yrs vs. 4 billion
years?"

Probably not. If the moon were 4 billions years old, the rate of dust
accumulation would be expected to change, so whatever the rate is now, there
is no guarantee it has remained constant throughout its history.
