Hi - if theoretically a referee on the 7-6 promotion scheme refereed a veterans' friendly between two unaffiliated teams, and then submitted it on RefSec as one of their 25 matches for promotion, how likely is it that their county FA would realise it was an unaffiliated/unsanctioned match? It doesn't seem like my county FA is particularly double checking what the 25 matches for 7-6 promotion are, or even what date they took place, but correct me if I am wrong.

Including an unaffiliated match on the list of games you refereed would be a really, really bad idea. You'd be admitting that you have broken rule 9a of the regulations for the control and registration of referees, as below, and far from helping to get you promoted it will kill the promotion and might even see you being charged and suspended.
9 (a) Registered Referees shall not officiate in any Competition, which is not sanctioned, or match in which unaffiliated clubs compete.
