I don't know, but I suspect that many of the images that are PD-UK would be useable under fair use in the USA. If so would it be possible to use a dual licesnse along the lines of "This images is public domain in the United Kingdom and other countries that use death+70. In the United States this image is contended to be fair use because of xyz" ?
Images are never "fair use" on their own. Specific uses may be fair, for *any* image. There's no such thing as a collection of fair use images, by definition.
The collection isn't of fair use images, the collection is a UK-based collection of images that are public domain in the United Kingdom. The collection doesn't involve fair use at all.
The images could then be used on a wikimedia project with the dual license of PD-UK and addtionally fair use in the USA.
