I don't understand the problem.  A trivial Python script could scan 
through all the files in the directory, checking which ones are missing 
the identifier, and rewriting the file with the identifier added.

So, since you didn't come to that conclusion, there must be some other 
reason you don't want to edit the files.  Is it that the real sources 
are elsewhere (e.g. Dreamweaver), and whenever one recompiles those 
sources, these files get replaced (without identifiers)?

If that's the case, then I figure you have about 3 choices:

1) use the file path as your key, instead of requiring a number
2) use a hash of the page  (eg. md5) as your key.  of course this could 
mean that you get a new value whenever the page is updated.  That's good 
in many situations, but you don't give enough information to know if 
that's desirable for you or not.
3) Keep an external list of filenames, and their associated id numbers. 
  The database would be a good place to store such a list, in a separate 
table.
