Office / Excel 64-bit install with 32-bit LabVIEW working except for Unknown Class and no method names

We are switching to 64-bit Office while still using 32-bit LabVIEW, and as part of some testing I have noticed that the OLE methods and property names no longer show for the underlying Excel references in the report generation toolkit and instead show as Unknown Class.

 

It still functions as it did before (which I am surprised about after reading https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019KZNSA2&l=en-GB).

How can I get it to display the class contents in 32-bit LV, given that it still seems to work just fine when executing?

 

As expected, the 64-bit LV recognises the Excel object and populates the methods and properties.

Highly recommended open source screen capture software (useful for bug reports).

I had a skim read of it before posting but it seemed like it was a case of not functioning during execution, whereas in my instance it's working fine. On the second read I've noticed rolfk's comment about it not registering the 32-bit: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Excel-not-opening-when-called-by-report-generation-toolkit/m-p/4156...
