Whether to use a file naming rule similar to the original Yuri's sidec02md.mix.

Notes

The original Yuri faction's UI actually loads additional independent radar and background images (and their palette files) from sidec02md.mix on top of the Soviet faction's sidec02.mix, overriding files in sidec02 for invocation.

If using this logic, the sidebar for this faction can follow the same rule, meaning it will use separate radary.shp and radaryuri.pal instead of radar.shp and sidebar.pal.

Refer to YR's original ra2md.mix/localmd.mix/sidec02md.mix for specific filename structures.

Of course, sidec0#md must correspond to the Sidebar.MixFileIndex. However, this feature primarily serves independent palettes. You could also place radary.shp directly into sidec0#.mix without creating an additional sidec0#md.mix.
