I'm just wondering how a post of these assets would be received here on OGA.
They would be rejected. Although the authors indicated by way of licensing that the screenshots are FOSS, we would need to see their entheusiastic agreement that they intend assets to be extracted from those screenshots and used in (potentially) competing games. The conversation where this has been discussed before can be found here: https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/censored-broforce-sprites-and-game-re...
The motivation behind the LoG devs openly licensing the screenshots is most likely because "These are screenshots for Wikipedia, and Wikipedia requires images with a free license." Per Clint Bellanger, OGA Admin:
"Scraping Wikipedia screenshots for reusable art is technically legal, and ethically awful behavior. Regardless of chosen license, if the original owner/artist has not intended for her art to be used in other games, it shouldn't be on OpenGameArt."
I can't say this method of obtaining derivatives would create "legal trouble" but- without the devs endorsement of this approach- it would create relationship trouble with respected industry developers. This is an excellent question to ask and I applaud you bringing it up because it is a topic worth considering.
Periods do denote an abbreviation, but I have never seen suffixes used. For example:
the abbreviation for "abbreviation" is abbr.
the abbreviation for "abbreviations" is not abbr.s, it's abbr.
the abbreviation for "abbreviated" is not abbr.d, it's abbr.
the abbreviation for "abbreviating" is not abbr.ing, it's abbr.
If the reader can't tell which form of the word is being abbreviated via context clues from the rest of the sentence, then the abbreviation should not be used. Hope that helps. :)

It is free to use so long as you give credit. See FAQ entry #1
Please also note that- as previously mentioned- scraping OGA for data can get your IP blocked if it isn't done politely:
Done.
Oh, very nice. Yes I think this will help many people.
Neither spaces nor length is an issue. :)
Yes I can.
Bumped for new content
Hahah! Ok, I see.
"Was it understandable?" Not really, no.
