Sprite references are missing in the Sprite Renderer when importing Sprite sheets created in earlier versions of the Editor

Jan 26, 2022

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download the attached "Reference_Test.unitypackage"
2. Create a new 3D project
3. In the Toolbar select Assets > Import package > Custom package... then find and select "Reference_Test.unitypackage"
4. In the Project window navigate to Assets > ART > Battles > General and open RefrenceTest.prefab

Expected result: six Sprites are displayed in the Scene view
Actual result: two to three Sprites are displayed in the Scene view

Reproducible with: 2021.2.0a7, 2021.2.15f1, 2022.1.0b11, 2022.2.0a7
Not reproducible with: 2019.4.36f1, 2020.3.30f1, 2021.2.0a6

Notes:
- In the issue title the "earlier versions of the Editor" refer to Unity versions where this issue is not reproducible
- Expected result can be observed by altering step 4: In the Project window navigate to Assets > ART > Battles > General and open Sprites_in_2021.1.png
