You need to search for inodes that contain directory information. I
recall that "debugfs" allows you to recover directory inodes as
files. Running "strings" on this data will get you the file names ---
but it will not tell you which file is which. For that you will need
to read the directory data structure and I do not know any tool which
does that.

Perhaps you should be looking for an out-of-band solution like
generating plots from the data without worrying about matching the
files. By comparing the plots with earlier printed copies you should
be able to identify which plot is associated with which data set.

All the best,

Kapil.
