The reason for this is each report has a unique GUID, so at times even if it has the same name it could be identified as a different report.
I would suggest always creating the PBIX using Power BI Desktop, there is a lot more functionality in the desktop. It is also best practice. And it will allow you as in this case to have versions of the files?

Unfortunately, this does not help. I realize that in some cases that is a best practice, but in our case we need to have separate reports for separate purposes or deliverables using the same dataset.
