Move drives between Servers while preserving SCSI Controller / SCSI ID

We have a solution that requires us to move 10 out of 13 drives from multiple systems to other VMs while preserving their SCSI ID and Controller configurations ( 0:1, 0:2, 1:1 ) ect.. .  This started as a manual process as it was just 3 servers.  This requirement has grown to where it needs automation.  Everything about this is straight forward with the exception of preserving the controller ID order.  I found an old post on how to pull the IDs, but not how to apply them while mounting preexisting drives.  If I just had that last bit, I would be able to work backwards from there.  Can anyone assist?

What information (source VM, destination VM, DiskPath, SCSI ID...) do you have and in which format (TXT, CSV ...)?
Are these regular VMFS disks or RDMs?
