If it's the same name it should keep the
PR, trust, SERPs etc. When you say "optimised the hell out of it" - what did you do exactly? How long has the page been de-indexed?

I created some similar pages with the same name to try to retain some of that traffic.

Can you explain what you did here?
Are you 100% sure the page name hasnt changed? Even the file type?
Just to expand on what edhan said. Make sure all metas are the same, all titles, all content (obviously this isnt going to be exaclty the same but redesigning a page and not having the same amount (or same quality) of textual content can cause problems).
