Either HalbonPO could adjust the book titles to be different, or edit the device save template to include the series number at the end of the saved filename:
Code:
{series_index:0>3s}
I think this is a great use for the plugboard . ... EXCEPT all books would get this treatment,,, SO Fixing the book name in Calibre is the way to go (or simply EPUB Merge that into one title... But that has drawbacks as the book can get huge.

OP First use the Find Duplicates plugin to find books in your library, (sort results as needed) and the use bulk mode of the MDE to ADD as suffix, 'book \1'
FWIW This sorta works but I could not figure out how to not have the comma
