Different position of moveable parts are still the same part with same coloring, so they should get the same c0x suffix, and a -px suffix to indicate the various positions. And finally we don't need the c0x at all when the design number of the complete assembly is known.
I agree, and have always been a little concerned about the mixed usage of c0x suffixes. I would prefer a different letter to 'p' to avoid potential confusion with patterned assemblies.
For example, if we wanted a different positioned version of 52258p01c01, then 52258p01c01-p1 might be confusing.

Would 'a', for arrangement, work?
So, for example:
Renumber these official files, and create Move to-files.
99798a => 99798-a1
99798b => 99798-a2
74981a => 74981-a1
74981b => 74981-a2
74982a => 74982-a1
74982b => 74982-a2
Old parts, at the Part Tracker
47223 => 47223a
47223a => 47223a-a1
47223b => 47723a-a2
47223c => 47723a-a3
