My understanding is that they get removed from the
catalog but the actual data remains on storage.

I think they will be upgraded to full in which case a
new full backup will be written to the storage
(without overwriting the previous "expired" ones).

AFAIK Bacula won't delete your "expired" backups
unless you explicitly and deliberately overwrite your
storage volume. So you should be able to recreate the
DB records for them if you run bscan.
But I may be wrong so to be 100% sure check the
documentation.
