If there's no product key in your Affinity Store account you probably purchased from the Mac App Store. And in that case you cannot downgrade to 1.8.

I believe that I purchased Affinity from the Apple App Store in January 2018.

Does that have implications re locating the product key number ?

If you purchased from Apple (Mac App Store) they you will not have a Product key number, your purchase is tied to your Apple ID. For example I have Photo and Designer from the MAS and Publisher from Serif/Affinity, so I have a Product key number for Publisher but not for Photo. Download again from the Mac App Store.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 11.7.3 
Affinity Designer 2.0.4 | Affinity Photo 2.0.4 | Affinity Publisher 2.0.4 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Download again from the Mac App Store.

But as has been mentioned elsewhere, the Mac App Store only makes available the most current version (now 1.9.0) so unless you have a backup (like with Apple Time Machine) you cannot go back to version 1.8.x.

All 3 1.10.6, & all 3 V2.03 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7
Affinity Photo 1.10.6; Affinity Designer 1.10.6; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7

Will revert to a Time Machine back up as thousands of pics have disappeared with the Affinity upgrade.

Upgrading an Affinity application would not delete any pictures from your disk.
