    ...just checked the BE 2014 SCL and it doesn't show Exchange 2003 at all.

    So your other option is a bit more long-winded, but you'd duplicate the Information Store to disk to get the *.edb file. Once done, look at using an application like Kernel for Exchange (you need to purchase it!) to crack open the Exchange *.edb and restore what you need too.

    Thanks!

Essentially Symantec told me to go pound sand.  They say BE 2014 doesn't oficially support Exchange 2003, so restores might or might not work,  and they don't have any technical documentation so cannot help me.

Typical Symantec.
