Identically named interview clips in Premiere, trying to prevent a relink nightmare

Editing a feature documentary and 32 of our interviews are identically named (ie 092016_S001_S001_T001). For some interviews, we did multiple takes, so the file names do change, but for each new file name (T002, T003, etc), there are other interviews in this pool whose names correspond to it. So essentially, different interviews, shot on the same day, named identically contingent upon how many takes we did for each interview. 

I'm about to transfer the project file containing these interviews over to my editor for the picture edit, but I'm concerned that when she tries to open the project file, she'll have a disaster of a time trying to relink these identically-named clips to the actual scripted interviews. We have backups of all these interviews on another drive. I'm tempted to manually rename these interviews by assigning unique names to the source clips. I'd rather not affect the original media, but I'm still troubleshooting ways to prevent a relink nightmare. 

A potential solution I tried was to media manage the two tracks containing only interviews in my timeline so that my editor could open it up and work with those preserved files instead of the identicallty named clips. But when I tried to do this, Project Manager just would not work for me. I think it's because it is searching for the individual file names, and when it goes to manage the footage, it's seeing a lot of duplicates. So this idea seems null to me. 

Any suggestions on another approach to this problem? Thanks in advance.
