This is _not_ augmenting into ietf-interfaces.

If 'ucpe-if:interfaces' is supposed to be RFC 8343 interfaces, then
(1) you can't do this and (2) you do not want to do this.

You are not composing and reusing models, you cut and paste models,
creating modified copies that do not interoperate. This is not what
the IETF tries to do.
The standard interfaces model is in /if:interfaces. There is likely no
point of replicating it elsewhere.

I have not seen a reason why scheme#1 is a good idea, I have given
reasons why copying is a bad idea. It appears to me like you are
trying to invent a different tree structure for a specific kind of
devices but having per device class different trees is not what we aim
for in the IETF. We aim for reuse of models across a wide range of
different devices.
