Restoring game saves with max drive

I saved all my game saves from a memory card to the USB drive. Then a few months later I did it again without deleting the original saves. Now I have two copies of each game save on the USB drive with no way to tell them apart. I want to restore the most recent version of each to the card. Any idea what the random numbers in front on the .max files are? Could they help me? It looks like my only other option is to restore each game file and test it to find the correct version.
 
Are you able to see when you created the files? Windows should tell you the creation date of a file when you look at its properties (alt + enter)
That's how I keep my backups sorted
 
There is no date created or modified on the USB files in Windows. I didn't notice this until I had this problem, but I thought it was normal for the max drive software. I guess it's not. I wonder why my system isn't keeping that data.
