Hi Heinz...  Yea after I posted this I did ask ai and the bot suggested using python with sql and comparing size, date, partial names and others.  If I wasn't retired I'd say no.  But actually think I'm going to try some python.   Reminds me of a golf buddy who is hippyish a couple of years ago.  I made the comment 'I'm going to do some php when I get home.'  He replied 'far out.  Can I come and try some?'  :)
