I did see the function where it attempts to compare based on the "standard" filename format...but again, unfortunately I have to deal with non-standard as well as the standard format :(

Oh, this was for the above question. I was mixing it up with the other

typically in any case. Only in the migration case, and the migration
script could be fixed for that.
