Slipstream multiple drivers with same file name.

Hi,
I will be slipstreaming the Samsung NVMe Drivers into Windows 7 (boot & install.wim) I am familiar with the DISM commands and procedure.

What I am not sure is how Windows would distinguish between the drivers. I want to push drivers for all 3 models 950, 960 & 970. However all have exactly the same file names. They are present in 3 different directories. I will also use Recurse switch to scan all directories in DISM command.

So how does windows or DISM tool distinguish between the 3? Or will it just accept the last one slipstreamed?

Sounds like a very basic question but I am clueless here, how it works internally.
As you can see here, the file names are same but driver file contents are different for each model.
Thanks.

Solution
If it were me, I would install Windows onto the Windows drive, and slipstream the drivers for that drive only, then install the other drives /drivers after Windows is running happy.
