I'm not that sure, but it's a try

The latest OR most recent issues of the...
I often find that the word 'issue' is useful for translating 'indice' in this sense, of documents that are produced and updated in a series of versions or issues. I would avoid the literal translation 'index', which is not a word I have come across used in the UK very much a all.
And I would suggested changing the word-order round to make it less clumsy in English.

If you are worried about dropping the \'en vigueur\' part, you could say \'the latest OR most recent current issue...\', but I really don\'t think it\'s necessary in English.

Since the whole point of these on-going successive issues is that they are constantly being updated, you might also car to express it as:
\'the latest OR most up-to-date current issue of the...\'

Fair enough, but do note that documents etc. marked \'Indice G\' etc. in French would usualyl be translated as \'Issue G\' in English; indeed, there may well be French and English \'versions\' of \'issue X\' of a document (as is the case with a whole set of such documents that I am currently working on) --- so when the French use \'indice\' instead of \'version\', it\'s for a reason too.

Another way this is sometimes expressed in English is using the word \'revision\' --- so, \"...the most up to date / latest revisions...\"
Very often encountered, and often abbreviated to \"rev. X\" etc.
