Which I'm not terribly sure is the case, but I'll admit to not having looked at it much, if ever.
Given you can determine the file is a PDF, an md5sum would be a good way to reliably identify them that runs quick. That would give you a unique 32 hex digit identifier to use where you use the ASIN in the cover name.

I don't know how many PDFs include a cover image, but I would think the first page a logical place for one to be located. If the first page is obviously text then it seems likely that no cover was included.

I guess you could add this to your "wish list" at some point.

Thanks for your work on this enhancement to the kindle software.
