Macrium has no issues in restoring an image that has been renamed, and I have done so myself occasionally. It may have issues if it's a backup set with a Full and Differential or Incrementals (I've not needed to try that) if so, then renaming them all (preserving the '00-01' numbering) should be sufficient.
However, It would be better practice to give the image file a meaningful name at the time you make the image. You don't have to use just the {IMAGEID} as the file name, you can add your own text, or new in v8 add more tags such as the PC name, the Windows version and time and date of the backup. With half a dozen machines, all imaged to the one external drive, that has been my practice since I first used Macrium. Typically all my images have names like: Dell-E7440-W10_PRO_19043-1110_2021-07-13-00-00.mrimg.
I'm with you Keith, each machine has a folder. Machines that have a lot of data are further broken down into data folders and system folders.
I use many tools. MR fulls, differentials and incrementals for data out to a NAS, robocopy for a weekly and straight old copy for special files as needed.
Use to data on Raid 1 on data but gave that up with the NAS. Know its not the same coverage but it will do.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but... Macrium Reflect images have a specific extension: MRIMG (Macrium Reflect Image). And if you have MR's Image Guardian enabled, you might get errors trying to move or rename Macrium files on that drive.
Here's one of my MR image file names: 3B58352249354A87-00-00.mrimg
