So if I get this correct, the app ID of com.mommysaverapp.plus is correct but the screenshots they use to justify their app removal are not from that app?!

So far as I can tell, yes.

I googled the app in the screenshots and it shows in google but now it 404s, just like Mommy Saver Plus. So it seems they removed the correct app also.

Do apps have a GUID or some other actually unique identifier they can use? It seems a huge oversight to not have or use such an ID, even if it's something as simple as a cryptographic hash of the binary(ies).

(Not an Android developer. Thought of starting but never did --- for mostly different reasons, however.)

The app ID is a unique identifier. Once you claim an app ID, it's yours forever.
