I frequently use two bodies on shoots and to properly sequence the photos
I have:
  
  1. A script to rename files by adding a prefix, hhmmss, obtained from
  the create-date (based on exiftool).  Can provide YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
  2. A script to correct the time-diff between the two bodies if I failed
  to sync the camera clocks beforehand (based on exiftool)
  3. A script to add geo-location data recorded with my android phone
  during the shoot and to correct time-diff to the cameras, if any.
