Is there a "How To" guide for the battery replacement?

Ahh, yes. Those are 2 of the 3 types I have seen. My facelift had the second of the two. That style of battery are widely available. Refitting is simply a matter of de-soldering the old ones and fitting new ones, assuming there's no leakage.

The top picture shows a more obscure type of battery that I haven't located (haven't tried hard either). I'm sure, if they are not available, something more common could be substituted.

Interestingly those 2 sounders have the same part number, so perhaps are interchangeable?

The third type (which is what LJay's incendiary device looked like) have all the electronics encased in a black potting compound so it is going to be less easy to repair them.

Will have a look next week and see what type is fitted to mine (nodoubt the dearest one)and if its just a case of cutting it open and fit new batteries ,then that is within my abilities with the soldering iron.
If is is beyond repair as batteries have leaked and has been cut open,will it cause any issues driving car with nothing connected until I can source another...apart from insurance issues detailed earlier.?

No problem. Alarm will function but without battery backup / random ignition functionality.  ;)
