They almost certainly use some sort of version control, like all novice programmers do, right? -- copying files/directories, creating backups, etc. (MyProject02.old.bak.zip).

Ah yes:

  myproject.final.zip
  myproject.production.zip
  myproject.backup.zip
  myproject.backup2.zip
  myproject.shipped.zip

myproject.final2.zip

myproject.final3.zip

myproject.final_for_real.zip

Been there done that. I prefer git where it's all just meaningless hashes, or semver tags.

I'd be surprised if that is not the case. No way they could have gotten this far without at least this minimum level of version control.
