I understand the situation.
If you are using the transliteration files in the IVTFF format, you can get all the information you need from the variables ($I $Q $H etc.) in the page headers.
Among others:
$I gives the illustration type
$Q the quire letter, where A=1 and T=20, and indeed I am skipping 16 and 18.
$H the hand according to Lisa Fagin Davis (1-5)
$B a number for the bibolio/sheet in the quire.
By concatenating the quire letter and the bifolio number, you get a 2-char ID for each sheet.
