It was getting 'messy' to keep track of what image came from what camera. I've now settled on what I ~think~ will serve to keep an order to all the images with different cameras, modes, retrieval. etc.

File names reflect which camera used in the first, second and/or third characters. The "mode" used will now be replacing the third character.

So, a file name like 8xx_xxxx is a D850. 81x or 82x denotes which body. 82A would be "A" mode setup. B, C and D are available as well. The APS-C bodies are a bit different, as we have two each of the D7500's and D7200's. Herself will be 7R1-xxxx for mode U1, 7R2_xxxx for U2. Mine 7S1_xxxx, 7S2_xxxx. The D7200's as 71x_ for one body, 72x_for the other. The 'x' for User modes. MAYBE that will allow us to sort which camera has a problem if/when encountering any issues.
Obviously the metadata file keeps lens and exposure info, so no issue there.

Still a work in progress. Sorting the previous IMG_xxxx and DSC_xxxx stuff is still going to be a challenge.
