I do not recall what those letters were but we may be able to find out and restrict to, say, '[pqrst]', say. An override facility sounds like a lot of work. Can you possibly work around it by, say, renaming (in the package) to '.swc.bin' (say) and then renamed those to '.swc' before your tests run? Or bundle the '.swc' in a zip or tar or alike archive and uncompress on demand?
