It would be nice to state what was the problem and how it was solved, so others can search for and reference this in the future.
Unless it was just some simple user error with no benefit to anyone else.

I don't think there are two different sides to a surface body in mechanical? So did it import it as just the sum of the two sides applied to the single side of the surface body?

Yes sorry, I believe I had made a simple error.

Creating names selections for each surface, and importing to to the single surface in mechanical worked well as the pressure is summed as you say.
