How? Since the original files had no embedded profile, what did you use as a
source (hint, the CMYK Working Space you have loaded). That assumption about
the origin of the CMYK may or may not be valid. Of course you have to guess.
But before doing a conversion from CMYK to a Working Space, you should try
and figure out if the assumption is close. Did the images look OK when
viewed prior to the conversion? If not, the assigned profile is probably not
close to what the files CMYK space is actually in.

If you know the source of the CMYK, the conversions will be a lot easier and
more accurate. With untagged files, it's a guessing game. Some suggest doing
a conversion to LAB but I'd have to believe that Photoshop would need to
make the same assumptions about the source to get to LAB so you may be in
the same boat.
