[GNC] Is there a way to handle same-named GnuCash files sensibly?

XCIF is your friend!

You can back-date the meta for those images and scans with something 
like `exiftool`. No definitive word of if it runs on Linux, but it does 
on MacOS and other Unix systems.

Otherwise there is a web implementation: https://exif.tools
