There were many Papal indults that dispensed people from a certain country or a certain diocese from this or that fasting or abstinence day. It is very difficuld to find this kind of information online. I don't know the practical rules for Sedevacantists these days, since these indults changed from place to place. You basically have to find out what was the situation on your area when Pius XII died, which is quite tricky.
I would think it would be consistent for sedes to follow the calendar changes by Pope Pius 12th since they believe he is a  valid Pope then they should also submit to his decisions.

I agree, but many don't. The Holy Week and the 1955 simplifications to the calendar are usually not followed, which is funny because it's a kind of "Sedevacantist R&R". They choose what Pius XII reforms they like and ignore the rest.

As far as I know the CMRI is the only group which is consistent in this area. They follow all the changes that Pius XII did. I don't know if they also ignore the octaves, which Pius XII destroyed in 1955, if I am not mistaken.
