Help relinking hundreds of files with identical names

I'm editing a film and the video files are stored on an external drive. Unfortunately, hundreds of those files have identical names for reasons that were outside of my control. This has not been a problem so far as I've been the only person editing the film and I've been doing it on a single computer and drive. However, I now need to make a copy of the drive and send it to someone else who will then open the project file on their computer. When they get the drive and open the project, Premiere will need to relink the files. In my experience, this has inevitably led to some clips being linked to the "wrong" file of the same name since Premiere seems to link based only on filename,

Renaming individual files would take an inordinate amount of time, so I've been trying to find a shortcut. I use Windows and realized that Premiere begins file paths with drive letters. Therefore, if the project file is opened on a Windows computer, then the drive letter could just be changed to the one Premiere has already used in linking the files. However, the person who will be receiving the hard drive is using macOS, so it doesn't sound like this would work. I'm in need of a solution that would allow anyone to get everything correctly linked on their end.
