I'm pretty sure CC BY-NC-SA is not compatible with the licences on Commons.
They could be uploaded and used on en-wiki with a fair use rationale, the same as any other non-free image.

Under the new agreement the majority of the 1.9 million images are being made available for anyone to use for free under a Creative Commons 4.0 license < " rel="noopener" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/>">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/> https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ . Users no longer need to register to use these photographs, and can now download them directly from the British Museum. Under the terms of the Creative Commons license, you are free to share and adapt the images for non-commercial use, but must include a credit to the British Museum.
