I was also doing more research, and it sounds like the first attempt to check for 'on device' is the books UUID... why is this changing when I email the book vs. send it by USB?

Sorry, just been trying to figure out an alternate solution for this for days, hitting my head against the wall.
E-mailing is a one way street. There is no communication from the device to Calibre.
OnDevice is meaningless except with a hard connected device

You could create) a 'Sent to device' custom column, but the burden of maintaining that would be on you as Calibre does not know if the book even arrived

I include the field {id} (this is the internal number Calibre assigns the folder that it keeps the book and can be made to show in the 'Book Details' pane) in the Template: {title}{id}- Very useful to ID the correct book if you have 2 versions of the same title
